Students who complete the first year of the suggested sequence can also receive the General Education Certificate; of course, they can also earn this certificate if they complete its required courses out of sequence. The first year of the General Studies curriculum largely follows the guidelines of the transfer framework for participating Pennsylvania 4-year schools, as approved by the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Oversight Committee (TAOC). The second year of the curriculum requires students to take additional courses in Bucks's General Education Program to complete our General Education program and form a well-rounded Associate of Arts degree. In addition, they are required to take 21 elective college-level course credits, thus offering them more choices to pursue their individual interests.\n\nGraduates of this program are able to:\n* demonstrate an understanding of human intellectual heritage and/or creative expression;\n* read critically, analyze and interpret information, and construct logical, well-supported positions;\n* demonstrate an understanding of diverse human perspectives in local, national, or global contexts;\n* find, evaluate, and ethically use information in a variety of formats for a variety of purposes;\n* communicate effectively through speech;\n* demonstrate and apply quantitative reasoning;\n* demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning;\n* demonstrate an understanding of human behavior and/or the relationships of people within societies;\n* demonstrate technological competence within the context of the major; and\n* communicate effectively through writing.\n\nDepartment of Language \u0026 Literature\nGrupp 105  Phone (215) 968-8150\nCurriculum Code No. 1209"},"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/11-1011.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"11-1011.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Chief Executives"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Determine and formulate policies and provide overall direction of companies or private and public sector organizations within guidelines set up by a board of directors or similar governing body.
