Notes
Please Note: The biology,lab science, is recommended, but not required. Other lab sciences may be taken to meet the lab science requirement.
Please Note: Not all NVCC Humanities/Fine Arts electives qualify as General Education Elective requirements (i.e. ENG 211-212, Creative Writing I & II and ART 121-122, Drawing I & II) for NVCC.
While other VCCS courses may also qualify for some of the categories above, we have included those that are most often available. We strongly recommend that you work closely with your VCCS Counselor or Faculty Advisor to assure the most appropriate choices for your major.
