The Arizona University System Model
The three universities are prepared to implement the 75-45 model for community college students who complete an AAS degree and transfer into one of the BAS concentrations. Implementation of the model assumes that transfer students will complete the following general education courses as part of the AAS degree (these courses must meet Arizona General Education Curriculum criteria):

Community College students would complete an additional 15 hours of lower division general studies courses that meet Arizona General Education Curriculum criteria. The five courses will be selected from six (6) areas depending upon the nature of the AAS degree. The six areas are:
1. Mathematics/Computer Science
2. Natural Sciences
3. Humanities Fine Arts
4. Social and Behavioral Sciences
5. Literacy
6. Cultural/Global/Historical Awareness
2. Natural Sciences
3. Humanities Fine Arts
4. Social and Behavioral Sciences
5. Literacy
6. Cultural/Global/Historical Awareness
Students must complete a mathematics course equivalent to or higher than Mathematics 142. If this requirement is met by the program requirements of a specific AAS degree, students may take the additional three hours in any one of the five remaining areas. The following table illustrates the relationship between AAS type and the possible distribution of the 15 credit hours.
