Bachelor Of Arts/Bachelor Of Science
* Competency Courses. All competency courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. ** The General University Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree is an eight (8) course requirement rather than a 32 credit hour requirement; and for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degrees it is a ten (10) course requirement rather than a 40 credit hour requirement; e.g., many transfer "equivalents" and DCP equivalents are 3 credit courses. *** Required of entering first year campus undergraduate students. May be waived by advisors for transfers entering as sophomores or above. Minimum Graduation GPA Requirement. For both the Associate Degree and the Bachelor Degrees, the minimum graduation GPA Requirement is 2.00 (C). Minimum Major/Minor GPA Requirement. All majors and minors have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.00 (C). Graduation Residency Requirement. For the A.A. Degree, the final 16 Credit Hours must be taken in residence at Alaska Pacific University. For the B.A. and B.S. Degrees, the final 32 Credit Hours must be taken in residence at Alaska Pacific University. Upper Division Credit Hour Requirement. A minimum of thirty (30) Credit Hours must consist of 300 and 400 level courses for the B.A. and B.S. Degrees. Language Requirement. Students are required to take one semester (4 Credit Hours) of one foreign language, a second language, or American Sign Language (ASL), or demonstrate competency at that level. This competency may be demonstrated by scoring at the appropriate level on a placement test in a language regularly taught at Alaska Pacific, or by providing documentation of a foreign language or ASL proficiency (e.g. serving as a translator or interpreter or attending a school where English is not the medium of instruction), or by transferring four credits from language or ASL courses taken at another accredited postsecondary institution. Students whose primary language is not English may use English proficiency to meet the language requirement. In this case, the student will be required to score at the appropriate level on a placement test in English. Students wishing to earn credit for languages regularly taught at Alaska Pacific University, without taking the courses, must follow the procedures for Credit by Examination, or take one of the CLEP examinations and score in the 50th percentile or above. The Credit by Examination option may be available only for languages in which Alaska Pacific University faculty members have expertise. The chair of the Liberal Studies Department will determine the appropriate examination. Two years of high school language credit of "B" or better work meets the GUR for foreign language. Such study does not convey credit towards the degree, only satisfies the requirement. |
