General Education Philosophy
General education benefits students by encouraging them to acquire the intellectual tools, knowledge, and creative capabilities necessary to be able to study the world as it is, as it has been understood, and as it might become. General education prepares students for fulfilled lives as educated persons and effective contributors to a democratic society. To develop a breadth of knowledge, general education courses acquaint students with the methods of inquiry of the various academic disciplines and the different ways these disciplines view the world as well as prepare you for employment. Effective general education helps students act ethically and responsibly, and develops habits of critical thinking and action, intellectual sophistication, and an orientation to learning and investigation that will become lifelong.

Planning Your Bachelor’s Degree
A bachelor’s degree from CMC shows you have knowledge and training beyond the high school or associate degree level. You need a high school diploma or GED to earn a bachelor’s degree. Normally it takes a student a full four years to earn a bachelor’s degree. However, it’s more common to attend school part-time and thus it takes longer for working adults or single parents. Nationally, the average time to complete a bachelor’s degree is 7 years.
The fundamental requirement for a bachelor’s degree is to successfully complete a minimum number of “credit hours,” usually a minimum of 120 semester credit hours. Full-time students typically take five 3-credit hour courses each semester. The first courses are often called the “core curriculum” and include mathematics, English, communications, science, arts and humanities, and social science courses that are required for all students. Each student selects a major field (for example business administration or sustainability studies) and possibly an emphasis area. To earn a bachelor’s degree, you must complete a minimum number of required and elective courses in the major and emphasis. In addition, most students take a few elective courses to complete the minimum 120-credit hour requirement.
The requirements for a bachelor’s degree are intended to ensure that you are adequately prepared to take the next step, whether in the work world or as a graduate student. However, the quality of your academic record is just as important as the quantity of credit hours. A minimum 2.0 (C) grade point average (GPA) is required in bachelor degree coursework.
Bachelor’s degrees are awarded in many different disciplines. The two most common types are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) that tends to focus on theoretical and general knowledge as well as liberal arts, for example literature, history, social sciences, etc. and the Bachelor of Science (BS) which focuses on technical or hard sciences such as mathematics, natural and physical sciences, business, engineering and similar fields. CMC offers five bachelor degree programs: the Bachelor of Arts degree in Sustainability Studies (BASS), the Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (BSBA) the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN), the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), and the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies in Elementary Education (BAIS-E).
Bachelor of Arts Degrees
The Bachelor of Arts program offers a liberal arts education that includes the Colorado State Guaranteed General Education Curriculum. This curriculum includes 31 credits minimum of general education classes across five content areas, plus 3 credits of communication. These are the same basic general education requirements in our Associate of Arts degree program at Colorado Mountain College. Some specific degree programs may have additional general education requirements (consult an advisor or the catalog for more information).
The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed to offer a variety of students from diverse backgrounds and academic interests the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree. Students who have earned their associates degree at CMC, or other community colleges in Colorado, will have an easier pathway to complete their bachelor’s degree because they will have already met several degree requirements such as the speech communications requirement and certain general education prerequisites that are important for student success.
Bachelor of Arts Requirements
The admission requirements for all Bachelor’s degrees are: 1) applicants for CMC Bachelor’s programs must have a minimum of 45 college-level semester credit hours; 2) applicants must be in good standing with the last institution attended, including CMC, with a minimum 2.30 cumulative grade-point average and 3) applicants who do not meet the minimum credit hour or grade point average requirement will be reviewed by the CMC Admissions Committee under the state transfer window exception.
Please see information contained in the Moving On section for information about combining transfer credit with CMC credit towards earning a Bachelor’s degree at CMC.
Bachelor of Science Degrees
The Bachelor of Science degree program is designed to provide four-year degrees in the areas of business, technology, mathematics, sciences, and engineering, but also includes the Colorado State Guaranteed General Education Curriculum. This curriculum includes 28-31 credits minimum of general education classes across five content areas, plus 3 credits of communication. These are the same basic general education requirements in our Associate of Science degree at Colorado Mountain College. Some specific degree programs may have additional general education requirements (consult an advisor or the catalog for more information).
The Bachelor of Science degree is designed to offer a variety of students from diverse backgrounds and academic interests the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree. Students who have earned their associates degree at CMC, or other community colleges in Colorado, will have an easier pathway to complete their bachelor’s degree because they will have already met several degree requirements such as the speech communications requirement and certain general education prerequisites that are important for student success.
There are two admission opportunities for pursing a bachelor’s degree at Colorado Mountain College. Enroll as a freshman and complete an associates degree (AA, AS, AGS, or AAS) as part of your bachelor’s degree and you will have completed your first two years. As a transfer student, submit official college transcripts from your previous schools and enroll with advanced standing. In order to be eligible to register for 300 and 400-level classes you must have, 1) completed 45 credit hours (at CMC or in transfer), and 2) have a 2.3 cumulative grade point average.
The prerequisite pathway for the Bachelor of Science degree includes these elements: 1) a college degree (associates or bachelor’s) is required before a student can enroll in more than 15 upper-division credits at CMC; 2) course prerequisites must be completed before a student can enroll in upper-division courses; 3) for transfer credit, upper-division course requirements must be earned through an accredited four-year program as upper-division coursework; 4) if an approved emphasis area or concentration is pursued, all requirements for that emphasis or concentration must be completed prior to awarding of the degree; and 5) specific courses that fulfill the general education requirements may be stipulated by the specific bachelor’s degree program. Students are encouraged to seek advising on meeting course prerequisites and other degree requirements.
Bachelor of Science Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Science degree requires taking at least 120 credits from among general education courses and specific core degree requirements and program electives as per the Colorado Department of Higher Education guidelines. Students who have earned an AA or AS degree and earned a C- or better in all courses shall be fully considered for admission into the BS program. Under the state transfer guidelines for AA and AS degrees, if offered admission, you will enter with a junior standing and will be required to take 60 or more credits to earn your bachelor’s degree. (Students matriculating from an AGS or AAS program will probably need more than 60 credits to earn a bachelor’s degree.) Students who do not fully complete AA or AS degree requirements will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis and may lose transfer credits depending on their previous course of studies. Therefore, students from other colleges are best advised to complete their associates degree from their home institution. Individual courses may transfer and count towards specific degree requirements for a four-year degree, but the transferable courses are limited to the course equivalents of the courses specified in the curriculum of the four-year degree program.
To graduate, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (“C” average) or “P” (passing) or better on all courses taken at Colorado Mountain College. At least 80 percent of the semester credits applied toward graduation must be letter graded.
Please see information contained in the Moving On section for information about combining transfer credit with CMC credit towards earning a Bachelor’s degree at CMC.
Bachelor of Applied Science
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) program in Leadership and Management is designed to prepare individuals as managerial and supervisory personnel in a variety of professions and offers a seamless transition from an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in a career and technical education field to a bachelor’s degree. The program provides a pathway for students who have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in a career or technical field from a regionally accredited school, by building on their technical specialties and general education courses by combining them with upper division course work to acquire management, supervision and leadership skills.
