General education courses introduce studentsto the achievements, the methods of inquiry and the major principles andconcepts in the humanities, the social sciences, mathematics, and thenatural sciences. Graduates possess a common foundation of knowledgefor understanding their physical environment, culture and society andthe skills of inquiry, reflection, and expression for personal growth andlifelong learning.A. Natural ScienceCourses in the natural sciences are those that examine the physicaluniverse, its life forms, and its natural phenomena. These courses willhelp the student develop an appreciation and understanding of thescientific method and also impart to the student an understanding of therelationships between science and the world around them. This categorywill include introductory or integrative courses in astronomy, biology,chemistry, general physical science, geology, meteorology, oceanography,physical geography, biological anthropology, physics and other scientificdisciplines.B. Social and Behavioral SciencesCourses in the social and behavioral sciences are those that focus onpeople as members of society. The courses will develop an awarenessof the method of inquiry used by the social and behavioral sciences.

Courses fulfilling therequirement include oral communication, mathematics, logic, computerlanguages and programming, and related disciplines. The course willhelp the student achieve an understanding of the relationship betweenlanguage and logic, developing an ability to communicate ideas, analyzeand solve problems, and identify the assumptions upon which particularconclusions depend.E. Multicultural/Gender StudiesCourses in multicultural/gender studies introduce students to multipleperspectives on contemporary social life. The course shall present ananalysis of culture as well as gender, contributions and perspectives ofunderrepresented cultures and examine at least three specific socialgroups.

This category will include introductory courses in a variety ofdisciplines.An associate degree documents students’ educational achievements andprovides them with a foundation for future learning. Since most jobs inthe future will require some education beyond high school, the associatedegree will make students more competitive in the job market.An NVC associate degree consists of two main elements:1. General education, which gives students a broad base of knowledgeand2. An academic program, in which a student specializes in a particularfield of study. Depending on the academic program selected, thestudent will be awarded an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate ofScience (A.S.) Degree.At Napa Valley College, the A.S. degree is earned in career technicalprograms that provide students with skills and training for immediateentry into the workforce, or in the fields of Science, Technology,Engineering or Mathematics. The A.A. Degree is earned for all otheracademic areas.For Associate Degree for Transfer degrees (ADTs) see that section of thecatalog as requirements are different for these degrees.
