Program Curriculum Guides

Program Curriculum Guides

The Curriculum Guides below provide all the courses needed to complete a program credential. The courses are arranged in a 4-semester/2-year sequence for most Associate Degrees, showing they can be finished in a minimum of 2 years provided no developmental courses are needed and at least 15 credits are taken each semester.

Part-time students should still follow the course sequence outlined in the curriculum guide for their program in order to finish as quickly as possible.

What you should know before using these guides:

  • The time it takes you to complete your program will depend on your academic planning and progress.
  • AA (Associate in Arts) and AS (Associate in Science) programs are designed for students who want to transfer to a 4-year school after graduating from RACC. AAS (Associate in Applied Science), Certificate, and Diploma programs are designed for students who want to go directly into the workforce after graduating from RACC.
  • The length of your program may depend on your placement test scores. If you need to take pre-college level courses, you should start by reviewing the plans for your major.

More information regarding our programs can be found in our online catalog.
