Understanding Course Designations
When searching for classes, you may see course codes like HU, SB, or MA. These indicate how courses apply toward general education requirements at Arizona public colleges and universities.
For example:
- HU = Humanities and Fine Arts
- SB = Social and Behavioral Sciences
- MA = Mathematics
These designations can help you choose courses that may transfer toward degree requirements. Always confirm applicability with your university advisor before enrolling. You can also complete your Arizona General Education Curriculum with Rio Salado with courses designed to transfer to the state universities.
