Transfer credit: CSU Choosing Classes The basic requirements for achieving a Degree or Certificate in a specific discipline are noted in the following “List of Courses.” Some disciplines provide a sample course sequence that suggests how to schedule the classes to make the most of a student’s time on campus. For information about when each course is offered, consult the current semester’s Schedule of Classes, which is available on campus about five weeks prior to the start of each semester and online at www.moorparkcollege.edu. Occasionally there may be changes concerning course numbers, titles, units of credit, prerequisites, hours, or course descriptions made after publication of the Catalog. Efforts will be made through the Schedules of Classes, public media, and at the time of registration, to notify students of any changes other than as described in the Catalog. All degree applicable courses listed in the Catalog meet major, general education, or elective credit requirements for approved degree or certificate programs. Understanding the Course Descriptions The following “List of Courses” provides a variety of information about each specific class: the unit value of the course, the number of hours the course meets, the prerequisites and corequisites, and the transfer status. Transfer Details: Each course description explains the course’s specific transfer status to the California State University (CSU) and/or the University of California (UC) systems. The course may be accepted for credit by the CSU system only, by both the CSU and UC systems, or by neither system. If no transfer status information follows a course description, that course is not acceptable for credit at any of the California public four-year institutions and is probably not accepted at private or out-of-state institutions either. For some courses, the UC system grants limited credit, and an explanation of that limitation is provided. If you have any questions, talk to a counselor or explore a range of online information available in the Career/Transfer Center (805) 378-1536, located in the Administration Building.

Degree in Archaeology To earn an Associate in Arts Degree with a major in Archaeology, students complete 37 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Archaeology offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in Archaeology is sequential, students may spend less time earning an Associate and/or Bachelor’s Degree by deferring some of the university general education requirements until their junior and senior years and by giving priority to the requirements for a major in archaeology. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment. This specialized program in Archaeology is NOT intended to be used as a license for independent unsupervised archaeological research. Rather it is designed to introduce students to archaeological research, providing opportunities to actively participate in supervised archaeological research.
