In addition to achieving their degree program outcomes, students completing a City Vision degree will achieve the outcomes below in these domains:
City Vision’s general education requirements were adapted from models provided by the Lumina Foundation’s Degree Qualification Profile as well as the AAC&U’s LEAP campaign’s Essential Learning Outcomes. Much of the language and categories for our revised general education requirements come from these two sources because they represent the most widely used related standards in the US. City Vision has simplified their requirements to reflect our mission that focuses primarily on degree completion for adult learners. Students from previous catalog years that are still active with City Vision may request to change their catalog year to the new requirements.
City Vision also provides life skills courses as a sub-group of our general education courses. The goal of these courses is to help students live well-balanced, healthy lives, free from addiction. These courses can be helpful for students at any stage of their development, but they are particularly helpful for students in our Wounded Healers Program that may be graduates of residential recovery programs. Our approach with Wounded Healers in life skills courses is that they ) Learn, 2) Do and 3) Teach. As such, students in this course will Learn and Do steps in these courses so that they can later teach and counsel others through a similar process in other contexts and organizations.
The following is how transfer credit will be mapped to general education credits with City Vision.
Institutional learning outcomes are the outcomes that all City Vision should have upon graduation. Students completing a City Vision degree will achieve the outcomes below in each of these domains:
Students are required to take 30 general education courses for a Bachelor’s and 15 general education courses for an Associate’s in the following areas.
Broad Knowledge and Intellectual Skills | Communications Christian Life and Thought |
Bachelor’s degree students must take a total of 30 credits, with at least 3 being from each of the four general education areas (English & Communications, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Mathematics & Natural Sciences, Humanities & Fine Arts). Associate degree students must take a total of 15 credits, with at least 3 from each.
If a student already has a bachelor’s degree from an accredited school, then the General Education requirements are waived.
At minimum, general education credits must include:
English & Communications | min 3 / max 21 |
To learn more about the types of accreditation accepted, the conversion of quarter hours to semester hours and related topics, view our Transfer Credit Policies page.
The following is a list of how City Vision courses may be used to fulfill general education requirements.
English & Communications (min 3 / max 21)
Students who have not previously attended college are required at least to take English Composition I and/or Business Communications.
Based on feedback from faculty and staff, we may require students to take English Composition if their writing is not at a sufficient level to meet the requirements of more advanced courses.
Social & Behavioral Sciences (min 3 / max 21)
Mathematics & Natural Science (min 3 / max 21)
Humanities & Fine Arts (min 3 / max 21)
