Program Notes:

Additional credit hours earned for MA111 will be applied to elective credit. Although the SGE requires 4-5 credit hours of a lecture and lab course in the Natural Science area, a student must complete 9 credit hours of Natural Science & Mathematics courses (with at least 4 hours being a lecture and lab science course) to meet the HutchCC Associate of Science degree requirement.
