General Sequence for Transfer Degrees

Course Descriptions

Dean:  Dr. Hasan Naima

Curriculum Pathway Leading to an Associate in General Studies in Liberal Arts and Sciences for Students Seeking a Transfer Degree to a 4-Year Institution:

This general sequence will serve as a guideline for those who are pursuing an AGS transfer degree to a four year institution in the following areas;

Discipline Advisor
Biology Ernie May
Chemistry Dr. Edward Kremer
Computer Engineering Technology Bill Wyatt
Environmental Studies Elizabeth Kasckow
Forensic Chemistry Dr. Edward Kremer
Physics Gerald Hodgson
Pre-Agriculture James Lyle
Pre-Chiropractic
Pre-Dental Dr. Michael Ballentine
Pre-Engineering Wayne Martin
Pre-Medical/Pre Optometry Dr. Michael Ballentine
Pre-Medical Technology Dr. Michael Ballentine
Pre-Nutrition Curtis V. Smith
Pre-Pharmacy Dr. Ronald Budhram
Pre-Veterinary Dr. Todd Gordon

Entrance requirements for various colleges, such as Chiropractic, Dental, Medical, Pharmacy and Veterinary, vary from one institution to another. Students should check with the college to which they expect to transfer.

Since the transferability of courses will vary depending on the specific four-year institution, it is strongly recommended that if students are intending to transfer to four-year institutions, they must consult with the transfer institution and with their respective KCKCC advisors before enrolling in order to determine the transferability of their courses. It is the student’s responsibility to determine the transferability of his/her courses.
