General EducationAlong with the major course requirements listed in each degree major in the following pages, students must complete all general education and legal requirements described in General Education Require-ments to be eligible for the associate degree. To complete General Education requirements a student may complete the Gavilan College A.A./A.S. general education, the CSU-GE Breadth or the IGETC pat-tern. REMINDER: Courses completed to satisfy general education require-ments for an associate degree can also be used for the major unless otherwise specified and beyond the 18-unit minimum.

Need For Specialized TrainingIt is often difficult to secure employment or to advance to increased responsibility and better paying jobs without specialized training. In the early stages of one’s career it is the specific, technical skills that an employer seeks. Your college record is the best evidence that this specialized training has been secured.Students may combine work toward a certificate or an associate degree with courses leading to advanced standing at a four-year college or university. Many students have thus acquired a marketable skill with which they could support themselves and their families while they continue to work for a baccalaureate degree.
