Associate Degree

General Education Requirements 2024-2025

Graduation from Santa Monica College with an Associate degree is granted upon successful completion of a

program of study of a minimum of 60 degree applicable semester units with a degree applicable grade point

average of C (2.0) or higher. The requirements for the majors are listed on separate sheets available in the

General Counseling and Transfer Services Center as well as online at smc.edu/articulation.

All Associate degree coursework (including appropriate upper division, graduate, and professional work) that is

completed at a regionally accredited college or university is normally allowed provided it meets or exceeds SMC

graduation guidelines. If a college is newly regionally accredited, all work completed in that institution in the two

years before its regional accreditation will be accepted.

To earn an Associate degree from Santa Monica College, the student must complete a minimum of 60 semester

units with a C grade or higher to include: Major/area of emphasis and Global Citizenship and either SMC GE, CSU

GE, or IGETC. Students intending to transfer to a 4-year institution should follow either the IGETC or CSU GE

requirements. Consult a counselor for advice.

Students who plan to transfer need to know which courses completed at Santa Monica College will be accepted at

the college/university they plan to attend.

Santa Monica College articulation agreements with the California State University and the University of California

can be found on the Articulation System Stimulating Inter-institutional Transfer website ASSIST.ORG

Each course in the area of emphasis (major) must be completed with a grade of C or higher.

Global Citizenship courses are marked with

text.
