General Education Courses

AGEC at Maricopa

The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a fully transferrable set of foundational general education courses (up to 35 credit hours) offered at all community colleges across Arizona. 

Students who successfully complete the AGEC with at least a 2.5 GPA are given guaranteed admission to Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona with 100% completion of their general education requirements.

Completing the AGEC, a foundation of the transfer experience at Maricopa Community Colleges, provides the most valuable and efficient transfer pathway to Arizona’s public universities.

Note: The AGEC is not part of the Certificates of Completion (CCL), Associate in Applied Science (AAS), and Associate in General Studies (AGS)—however, many of the same classes will satisfy the general education requirements found within those awards.
