CENTRAL ARIZONA COLLEGE


Central Arizona College courses which satisfy NAU Liberal Studies Requirements

Fall 2002


These Liberal Studies Transfer Guides apply to courses completed at the Community College Fall 2002. For applicability to Liberal Studies of courses completed prior to Fall 2002, please refer to the Liberal Studies Transfer Guide for the year in which the course was completed.

These Transfer Guides are static and are updated once a year.  We would encourage people to use the new Transfer Guides that are housed  in the CEG/CAS website.  The new Transfer Guides are interactive and more current.  For help using the new Transfer Guides please follow this link (Liberal Studies Transfer Guides).

The information in this web page refers only to how transfer courses apply to NAU's Liberal Studies Program. The courses are accepted at NAU for the amount of credits earned at the community college.

For additional information about major/college requirements, go to the CAC Index of Transfer Guides.
