General A.A. Map
The following information may be used as a guide to assist students in scheduling courses and planning for graduation. The sample schedule below is an ideal sample for a full-time, college ready student. This sample does not take into account a student’s need for developmental courses. This progression reflects success at each attempted course. Part-time students who typically build courses around work or family obligations can use this information to map out a degree plan for a longer period of time. While this is a general guide, students should meet regularly with an academic advisor to discuss best course options.
Degree-seeking students enrolling at NFC for the first time are required to complete ENC 1101 and a mathematics course appropriate to their intended major within the first 18 college credit hours.
