Areas I-IV core courses are to be chosen from the Jefferson State Approved AGSC General Course Listing.
For all engineering majors, the AGSC voted to allow the hour requirements in Area II to be reduced from 12 hours to 9 hours. This allowed for 6 semester hours to be added to Area V for engineering majors so that required math and science courses could be taken prior to transfer that would need national engineering accreditation standards (ABET). The ACCS has adopted this exception.
Engineering students may take 9 hours in Area II, 9 hours in Area IV, and 24 to 29 in Area V.
There are zero (0) free elective hours for most engineering programs. The remaining hours in Area V must be fulfilled by the requirements at the institution offering the engineering degree. Courses taken at the four-year institution will likely qualify for reverse transfer to the community college to complete the Associate Degree requirements. MTH 237 is not offered at JSCC but may be required by your transfer institution.
As a part of the General Studies Curriculum, students must complete a six-semester hour sequence either in literature or in history.
ORI 101/110 Waived if student transfers in 12 or more hours.
Literature — Refer to JSCC’s AGSC Approved Course Listing.
For transfer information, refer to the AGSC guide and Area V page for this program. Failure to print and retain the Area V page for this major may result in the program not being transferable.
