CLEP Credit - All students are eligible to take the CLEP (College Level Examination Program) battery which, if passed satisfactorily, may satisfy most of the general area requirements. (See CLEP under Testing.) 3. Transfer Credit - Students who have completed all general education requirements for a bachelor's degree at another institution in the Utah System of Higher Education prior to transferring to Weber State College will not be required to meet the above requirements. Students who have not met the previous school's requirements must meet the general education requirements at Weber State College. This agreement includes all Utah system institutions. REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSOCIATE DEGREES An Associate of Arts or Science degree is designed to meet the needs of students interested in a general course of study which can be completed in approximately two years. An Associate degree can be used to prepare persons for employment in positions which call for two years of college or a general Associate degree. Some students will elect to obtain an Associate degree to assure that their General Education courses are completed for a future Bachelor's degree. The Associate degree must be completed and received at least a year prior to qualifying for a Bachelor's degree, as the Bachelor's degree supercedes the Associate degree and they cannot be awarded simultaneously. Associate of Arts and Associate of Science A candidate for graduation with an associate degree must complete a minimum of 93 credit hours. Students must include in the 93 credits the "Specific College Requirements", including English and Math competency requirements, and the "Requirements for General Education" listed under the requirements for the corresponding Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. The associate degree candidate is exempt from satisfying the state requirement in American History, Government, and Economics. The Associate of Arts degree also requires a minimum of 15 credits in one or more foreign languages or two high school units of one foreign language with at least one additional course in the same language completed in college. Three high school units of the same foreign language completed in high school satisfy the language requirement. In a school or department where there is a curriculum specified for general education, that curriculum substitutes for the general area requirements. Associate of Applied Science The program leading to the Associate of Applied Science degree is primarily oriented toward job entry and is normally designed for students who wish to complete a formal education in two years (93 quarter hours). Preparation for this degree includes theory courses, shop and laboratory activities, directed work experiences, and general education. A candidate for the Associate of Applied Science degree must complete the following requirements: • A minimum of 93 credit hours. • The required courses in the major discipline and/or related subject areas to a maximum of 67 credit hours. • English 101. • One other English course in written or oral communication specified by the candidate's department curriculum. • At least 20 hours from the general education courses listed in the catalog including at least one course in each of the four areas of Humanities (HU), Natural Science (NS), Social Science (SS), and Personal Development (PD). Some programs leading to the Associate of Applied Science degree require Math Competency. Students should carefully check the program requirements for the specific degree of interest. The curriculum for the student's major is described in the catalog listing of each department utilizing the Associate of Applied Science degree. Residency Requirement A student must have completed a minimum of 30 credits at Weber State College for the title of Associate of Arts, Science, or Applied Science. Students must also be registered at the college during at least one quarter following the last commencement prior to their graduation. REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTITUTIONAL CERTIFICATES An institutional certificate shall be awarded upon successful completion of a program directly oriented toward job entry when the program is a duration of 18 months or less (1-72 quarter hours or other designation).
