Associate of Arts and Sciences Requirements (AAS)
I. General Education Breadth Requirements: A student must complete general education coursework in a variety of different disciplines based on breadth categories established by the University of Wisconsin System Shared Learning Goals. A student must complete coursework in six different breadth categories. Each course is limited to only one breadth category. The number of units required in each category is presented in Table 1 at the end of this document.
A. Knowledge of Human Cultures (HC): Courses focus on analysis of the human condition, culture, and society. This typically includes coursework that requires students to engage with and analyze human interaction and culture, social organization and institutions, historical contexts, and/or complex interdependent systems. The HC requirement typically includes coursework in social sciences, humanities, fine arts, and world languages. Students in HC courses can expect to 1) describe and evaluate existing knowledge of human cultures; 2) interpret and analyze data, texts, and/or artifacts; and/or 3) apply concepts across disciplines.
B. Knowledge of the Natural World (NW): Courses focus on concepts and applications related to the natural and physical sciences and mathematics. The NW requirement typically includes coursework in the sciences and mathematics. Students in NW courses can expect to 1) describe and evaluate existing knowledge of the natural world; 2) interpret, analyze and communicate data, results, and conclusions; and/or 3) apply concepts across disciplines.
C. Critical and Creative Thinking (CC): Courses extend students’ abilities to analyze issues and produce responses that are both logical and innovative. The CC requirement can be fulfilled with qualifying coursework in any discipline. Students in CC classes can expect to 1) investigate problems; 2) execute analytical, practical, or creative tasks; and/or 3) combine or synthesize existing ideas, images, or expertise in original ways.
D. Effective Communication (EC): Courses support and assess students’ development of reading, listening, speaking, information literacy, and/or writing proficiencies. The EC requirement typically includes coursework in multiple communication modes, including speaking/listening, writing, communication, and media studies. Students in EC courses will be asked to demonstrate 1) effective reading, listening, speaking, and/or writing skills, for a variety of purposes and audiences; and 2) use language effectively to construct scholarly, evidence-based arguments.
A required part of the Effective Communication requirement is a research-intensive composition course or demonstration of equivalent proficiency. A student can fulfill this requirement through one of two options: 1) Complete (or an equivalent transfer course), or 2) Attain exemption from by receiving qualifying scores on the Wisconsin Placement Test and demonstrating achievement of course learning outcomes. A student who successfully completes the exemption process does not receive college transcript credit for the course and must complete additional coursework to fulfill the required six EC units for an associate degree.
E. Intercultural Knowledge and Competence (IK): Courses prepare students to live and work in diverse contexts. Courses with this degree designation focus on building cross‐ cultural communication, interaction, and empathy with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The IK requirement typically includes coursework in the social sciences, humanities, fine arts, foreign languages, and ethnic studies. Students in IK courses can expect to 1) develop cultural self‐ awareness in the context of diverse human cultures; and/or 2) develop strategies for effectively and appropriately negotiating intercultural interactions.
F. Individual, Social and Environmental Responsibility (RE): Courses provide the foundation for lifelong learning and the intellectual tools for engaging ethically as members of society. The RE requirement can be fulfilled with qualifying coursework in any discipline and often includes high impact teaching practices or other active learning strategies. Students in RE courses can expect to: 1) engage in active learning to explore ethical, social, and/or environmental issues; and/or 2) apply knowledge and skills for the purpose of civic engagement.
II. Depth Requirement (DR): The UW System Associate Degree Standards require each student to complete “a two-course sequence in which the first course provides the foundation for the second.” A student fulfills this requirement by taking a disciplinary depth sequence. One or both courses may be transferred in from another institution.
Sets of courses in a depth sequence must meet the following criteria:
a. Both courses are in the same discipline (and not just in the same department or program).
b. Both courses are at least three units.
c. Learning from the first course lays a foundation for learning in the second course. However, the foundation course does not need to be a prerequisite for the second course.
d. A student takes the second course in a different semester or term. The semesters do not need to be contiguous.
e. The depth requirement does not include skills courses that lay a foundation for academic literacy (developmental education, non-degree ESL, Math 105, and English 101) or lecture forum courses (i.e. those with LEC course numbers).
III. Quantitative Literacy (QL): A student must complete a minimum of three units of quantitative literacy (QL) coursework. A qualifying course focuses on college-level algebraic reasoning, probability, and/or statistics and has as a prerequisite or is a MAT course of level 108 or higher. A student must fulfill at least one of these requirements: 1) Complete a quantitative literacy course (or an equivalent transfer course), 2) Complete a mathematics course that has a quantitative literacy (QL) course as a prerequisite, or 3) Place into a 200-level mathematics course through the math placement process.
Students may take more than one course to complete the required three units. Quantitative literacy courses may fulfill breadth and depth degree requirements.
IV. Laboratory Science (LS): A student must complete at least one laboratory science course. In laboratory science courses, a student engages in empirical study of the natural world to enhance learning. To carry the LS degree designation, a science course must have at least one of the following active learning components as a regularly scheduled part of the course: 1) Learning activities in a laboratory or field setting; 2) Extensive use of scientific methods for student investigation, experimentation, and/or observation; 3) Active student participation in analysis and interpretation of data, using scientific tools, methods, conceptual frameworks, theories, and/or models. For courses that do not have separately scheduled laboratory sections, at least one credit’s worth of work in the course must come from learning activities that meet the criteria for an LS designation.
V. U.S. Racial/Ethnic Diversity (DV): A student must take one 3-unit U.S. Racial/Ethnic Diversity course dealing with the African American, Native American, Asian American or Latino/a American experience. Formerly referenced as Ethnic Studies (ES) courses.
VI. High Impact Practices Requirement (HIP): A High Impact Practice course focuses on learning that increases a student’s social and intellectual engagement in higher education. These active learning courses challenge students to engage in higher order thinking, including analysis, synthesis, evaluation, application, and/or creation of original work. Students spend significant time on purposeful tasks, receive and respond to substantial feedback, and engage in interaction with instructors and other students.
A student must take one HIP course to receive the Associate of Arts and Science degree. All versions of a course or individual sections may carry a high impact practice designation. The following types of courses fulfill the High Impact Practices degree requirement.
A. First-Year Seminars (HIP/FY): First-year seminars (also called first-year experience courses) help students make a transition to college-level learning. First-year seminar courses are normally taken in the first semester. To count toward the HIP degree designation, a first-year seminar must be completed before a student completes 30 college units, not including college units taken in high school.
B. Learning Communities (HIP/LC): A learning community refers to two or more linked courses organized around shared goals for student learning and engagement. LC courses support integrated learning across courses and disciplines. Learning communities provide students with increased opportunities for collaborating, interacting with peers and instructors, and exploring issues through interdisciplinary inquiry.
C. Writing Emphasis Courses (HIP/WR): In a writing emphasis (or writing-intensive) course, students produce texts written for different disciplinary purposes. Students complete substantial writing assignments that challenge them to engage in higher order thinking and emphasize analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and/or application. They receive substantial feedback and respond with revision.
D. Undergraduate Research (HIP/UR): In an Undergraduate Research course, students have the opportunity to engage in significant, systematic investigation and research to explore important disciplinary questions. A UR course connects key disciplinary concepts to active and critical student inquiry. Any discipline may offer an Undergraduate Research course.
E. Collaborative Learning (HIP/CL): In a Collaborative Learning course, a significant portion of assigned coursework and other learning comes from collaborative activities. Students work together to engage in collaborative problem solving and active learning that leads to one or more projects.
F. Diversity/Global Learning Opportunities (HIP/DG): The Diversity/Global Learning Opportunities designation applies to a course or linked sets of courses that provide students with experiential learning to help them explore diverse cultures and worldviews that are different from their own. Students receive DG credit for a) taking an experience-based learning course that focuses on cultural diversity within the United States or b) participating in a study abroad program.
G. Community-Based Learning/Service Learning (HIP/SL): Service-learning integrates academic study and field-based experiential learning with community partners. Students a) apply learning from community service to an academic course and b) reflect on their service experiences through assignments and learning activities in the course. Students gain direct experience with issues they are studying in the course and engage in efforts to analyze community-related problems in the context of one or more instructor-supervised projects.
H. Internships (HIP/IN): Internships provide students with professional experience outside of a traditional classroom in a work setting. Students work in a structured learning environment to apply concepts from related coursework to practical experiences in a field of study.
I. Capstone Project (HIP/CP): Students take a Capstone Project course in their final semester of the associate degree. Students create an independent project that synthesizes, integrates, and applies what they have learned in their associate degree experiences. To receive HIP credit, a student must complete a minimum of 45 degree units before enrolling in a Capstone Seminar course.
J. ePortfolio (HIP/EP) An ePortfolio is a digital repository of a student’s work that allows the student to reflect on learning, and to demonstrate and integrate learning across their University experience. The student presents evidence of accomplishment that may be used for employment, for applications for continued study, and for reporting to external audiences.
