Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a 35-38 semester-credit general education certificate that fulfills lower-division general education requirements for students planning to transfer to any Arizona public community college or university.

Phoenix College offers three types of AGEC certificates, and one, AGEC-A, entirely online. Designed to articulate with different academic majors, their requirements vary accordingly.

Learn more about AGEC.

Online/Canvas (Online CANVAS)

Class content is delivered entirely online (with the possible exception of an orientation or proctored exams on campus) and is accessed through Canvas — our elearning platform. Students should have independent access to the Internet.

Online courses are ideal for working or busy students who have knowledge of the internet and can work independently without face-to-face interactions with the instructor or other students.

Hybrid (Hybrid) 

Classes offered in a Hybrid format have a portion of the class taught face-to-face in a traditional classroom setting, while the rest of the class takes place online. The mixed format offers the best of both worlds: an effective combination of face-to-face classroom meetings and the opportunity to work independently.

Resource

Classes where the instructor puts course documents online for students to reference are called Resource courses. Documents such as the course syllabus, schedule, handouts, outlines, current grades, etc. are included in this type of course.
