2 Requirements for the Associate Degree All curricula offered at Onondaga Community College have been registered with the New York State Education Department and approved by the State University of New York with authorization to award the degrees of Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) and Associate in Science (A.S.). Eligibility for a degree is based on the successful completion of the program of study outlined by a curriculum. A core group of courses in the liberal arts and sciences is required in each curriculum. These courses fall in three fields the humanities, mathematics and science, and the social sciences. This liberal arts core is intended to provide the student with exposure to and knowledge of the cultural, social and scientific heritage which has shaped today s world. The Associate in Arts degree requires completion of at least 80 percent of course work in the arts and sciences. Students pursuing the Associate in Science degree must complete at least 50 percent of their course work in the arts and sciences. Those in Associate in Applied Science programs must complete at least 33 percent of their course work in the arts and sciences.

3 Bachelor Degrees and Graduate Courses Upper-Level Institutions Offer Courses at OCC You can take bachelor s degree courses right here on our campus. Onondaga Community College supports the educational programs of other colleges and universities by providing classroom space for instruction. In the case of Keuka College you can earn a bachelor s degree. Cornell University undergraduate courses Labor Studies Keuka College- Accelerated degree programs in: Organizational Management and Criminal Justice SUNY Cortland graduate-level courses in Education OCC General Education Requirements General Education enables individuals to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for responsible participation in society. These include the ability to reason and communicate effectively, a capacity for compassionate inquiry, a framework for intellectual, ethical and aesthetic growth and a commitment to the well-being of self and the larger community. Onondaga Community College is committed to providing degree-seeking students with General Education. Degree seeking students are required to pass at least one SUNY Gen Ed approved course (see SUNY Gen Ed list of approved courses) in each of the three main areas of General Education: Communication and Mathematical and Scientific Reasoning; Human Relations and Cultural Diversity; and Humanities and the Arts. SUNY General Education Requirements (For students transferring to a SUNY fouryear institution) In fall 2002, the State University of New York (SUNY) established a new General Education requirement for candidates for the baccalaureate degree. To fulfill this requirement, each candidate for the baccalaureate degree must complete at least one SUNY certified General Education course in each of 10 specific areas called SUNY learning outcomes. The knowledge and skill areas of the learning outcomes are: mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, American history, western civilization, other world civilizations, humanities, the arts, foreign language and basic communication. Students who plan to graduate from OCC with an A.A. or an A.S. degree and who plan to transfer to a four-year SUNY institution, should complete at least seven out of the ten SUNY learning outcomes. Those graduating with an A.A.S. degree should complete at least five out of the ten SUNY learning outcomes. It is the student s responsibility to fulfill the SUNY General Education Requirements. A mailing is sent to all newly matriculated students informing them of the current list of courses that meet SUNY Gen Ed requirements. Academic advisors will recommend appropriate courses that fulfill these outcomes. Need more information? Check our Web site: 47

4 Transfer/Articulation Agreements (For students who wish to continue their education after Onondaga Community College) OCC maintains formal agreements, called articulation agreements, with other colleges, which guarantee that associate degree graduates may transfer with junior status without loss of credit. In many instances, specific programs of study have been defined, by course, with the transfer college. This means that the first two years of the four-year college program may be taken at OCC. Graduates who meet the established criteria - e.g., grade point average (G.P.A.) - may transfer all credits directly to the four-year college. Final decision regarding acceptance at the transfer institution rests solely with that institution. A grade of D will rarely transfer if it is earned in a student s major program of study; in certain cases, a D grade will not transfer under any circumstance. It is important that students who plan to transfer after completing their studies at OCC, consult from the beginning of their academic program with a Transfer Counselor and/or a Transfer Program Coordinator; such care in the selection of courses and curricula aid in the transfer of credits. Articulation agreements with four-year colleges are developed continually. Please check with the Counseling Department, Academic Building, (315/ ) for the most up-to-date listings.
