or

MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
To receive an Associate’s Degree a student must complete a major course of study of at least 18 college units from the SRJC list of approved majors. A major provides coherence, focus, depth, sequencing, and synthesis of learning. A course may be used to satisfy both a General Education requirement and a major requirement (Title 5, 55806). Within the major, a course may not be used more than one time to meet a major requirement.
A student may submit a request for course substitution for major requirements. The course substitution form for the major is required if the student wishes to use a course for an Associate’s Degree major that is different than the curriculum listed in the Catalog and on the Web site. The form can be obtained in the Admissions and Records Office. The student must then submit the form to the appropriate department for approval. Consultation with a counselor is highly recommended to assist the student with the process.
Major programs are listed in this Catalog; the most current list of majors is available at the SRJC Web site at https://curriculum.santarosa.edu/all-majors.
UNIT REQUIREMENT
A student must complete a minimum of 60 units in courses numbered 1-299. Courses numbered 300-899 are designed to meet a variety of student needs and are not applicable toward Associate’s Degree requirements. Students should plan their course of study carefully with the assistance of a college counselor.
RESIDENCE REQUIREMENT
A student must be enrolled during the semester in which the degree is granted. A minimum of 12 units must be completed at Santa Rosa Junior College.
