AA/AS Requirements

Associate Degrees require the following:

  1. Completion of a minimum of 60 degree-applicable units with an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 ("C" average). A minimum of 12 units must be completed within the Los Rios Community College District.
  2. Completion of each required course with a grade of "C" or better for a major offered at Sacramento City College. 
  3. Completion of Sacramento City College\'s local AA/AS degree general education requirements – Area L1A and L1B; Area L2; Area L3; Area L4; Area L5; and Area L6; and Area L7A and L7B – with an overall 2.0 GPA. Students also have an option of completing the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) instead of the local general education pattern.

Students with Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate Credit (IB) test scores should notify their Counselor to learn more about how test scores may be used for credit.

Exception: Students who possess a bachelor\'s (BA/BS) or higher degree from a college or university accredited through a regional accrediting agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) are deemed to have satisfied both the general education and graduation competency requirements for an AA/AS degree. Degrees from accredited institutions outside of the US will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
