In deciding upon elective courses, students working closely with their Learner Mentor should consult the transfer path for their intended transfer college and program. Bear in mind that some colleges or programs may require or recommend more courses in a particular area (math, science, or foreign languages, for example) than are required for the A.A. degree at Richard Bland College. Those courses should be included in the electives taken as part of your academic plan at RBC.

A student may not satisfy the requirements in both the Human Experience and US & World Cultures exclusively with Philosophy and Religion courses.

Note:


Courses with an asterisk (*) can be used to satisfy the requirement of only one category. Courses in italics are only transferable in some cases, and you must exercise caution.
