Curricula and Degree Programs
Degree Requirements
Each student is responsible for completing all requirements as prescribed by the College. With
the exception of some accredited programs that require additional credits, a minimum number of
60 credits is required to complete an Associate degree (most certificate programs require 30
credits). Degree requirements are indicated according to three categories:
- Core Requirements,
- Required Areas of Study, and
- Specialization Requirements.
In addition, to be eligible for an Associate degree, students must
- maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0,
- complete two Writing Intensive courses.
Each semester a list of Writing Intensive courses is published in the Registration Guide and
Schedule of Classes.
“0” level courses (RDL 01 or ENG 02, for example) taken at BCC to remove deficiencies in
preparatory work do not have academic credits and do not fulfill degree requirements. Courses
required or recommended as a result of placement examinations that are not part of the degree
course requirements in a particular curriculum will not count toward fulfilling the requirements
of the degree in that curriculum.
At the start of their final semester, students must file a Candidate for Degree form in the
Registrar’s Office to be evaluated for graduation. Students will receive a notice of completion of
requirements or a checklist of what remains to be fulfilled. Candidates for the degree must be
approved by the faculty for presentation to the president and the board of trustees as worthy,
meritorious and deserving.
