In recognition of the growing importance of global awareness, the College also requires that students receving the Associate of Arts degree take at least four courses with significant international content. Courses in the curriculum plan that meet this requirement are identified with the "GA" designation behind the course name.

The program schedule is designed for full-time students who have completed all prerequisites and who have no college preparatory recommendations. Some individuals, especially part-time students and those taking college preparatory courses, will require additional semesters of study. Students should consult their academic advisors for help in planning their schedules.

Academic Preparation

Students entering this program should have taken the college preparatory courses offered by their high schools. Students who did not take this track may require college preparatory classes or additional coursework at Clark State.

Academic Requirements

Foreign language courses are not required for a Clark State AA degree. Foreign language courses are required for BA in social work from WSU. Students may take SPN 1111, 1112, and 2111 at Clark State toward this requirement. SPN 1111 and SPN 1112 are included in the curriculum plan. Foreign language proficiency may replace the foreign language courses; the student who has taken foreign language courses in high school should consult with advisors at Wright State University regarding this requirement.
