  • Academic Advising Center
  • Chambers Hall 109
  • 732.906.2596
  • advising_at_middlesexcc.edu

2
Overview
  • Many students will choose LAGEN when they are
    unsure of their future course of action. In
    fact, many students incorrectly believe this is
    not a declared major.
  • Because of the growth of this major, several
    faculty members outside the SSH division find
    themselves with LAGEN as an advising field.

3
Basic Requirements I
  • ENG 121 and ENG 122/125
  • (C or better)
  • SPE 121 or 123
  • HIS 121 and 122
  • Six credits of social science electives
  • Six credits in sequence of the same modern
    language

4
Basic Requirements II
  • Three humanities credits
  • Two semesters of mathematics
  • Seven/Eight credits of a natural science
  • Diversity course
  • CSC 105 or CSC 106 or Bus 107
  • Twelve credits of courses with special
    designations (for LAGEN majors)
  • LA majors with an option other than General will
    need four courses within that option.
  • Divisional elective
  • One 1 credit PED or one 3 credit HED course

5
Modern Language Requirement
  • If your advisee has studied a modern language in
    high school, it is advantageous for that student
    to take a diagnostic test through the auspices of
    the Testing Center. This placement will better
    ensure that the course at MCC will transfer to a
    bachelor-degree granting institution.
  • The student also has the choice to take an
    elementary sequence in a language which he/she
    has not yet studied.

6
Diversity Course
  • All Liberal Arts Students (General and other
    Options) must complete one diversity course.
  • If one of the Diversity Electives is also
    designated as GE HUM, GE SS, GE SCI or GE PED, it
    may also be used to satisfy an additional
    graduation requirement.
  • Please remember that Diversity Electives are
    different from Divisional Electives.
  • When you see DIV in the College Catalog, the term
    refers to Diversity, not Divisional.

7
Divisional Elective
  • A Divisional Elective is a course that can be
    taken from a curriculum with any of the following
    designations
  • AFS COR GER MAD POL SPE
  • AGD DAN HED MUS POS SSD
  • ART EDU HIS PCP PSY THE
  • CJU ENG ITA PED SOC
  • COM FRE LNC PHI SPA
  • This divisional elective cannot be combined with
    any other course to fulfill two graduation
    requirements.

8
Courses With Special Designations for LAGEN Majors

    minimum of twelve credits from courses with the
    following designations

10
Choosing Science Courses
  • If your advisee wants to take a four-credit lab
    science, he/she must have a lab science in high
    school with at least a C grade. Please review
    the Advisors Manual (4th link on the following
    page of the Manual) to learn how to read
    Colleagues XTRI screen to determine if a student
    had a high school lab science with at least a C
    grade.
  • Finding the exact High School lab science
    grades
  • The four-credit SCI 155 has a prerequisite of MAT
    013 and does not need the high school lab with
    C or better.

11
What to Do if an Advisee did not have a High
School Lab Science with at least a C.
  • Your advisee can take BIO 010 or CHM 010 as a
    prerequisite to a four credit lab science. OR
  • If your advisee does not have a high school lab
    science with a C or better, MAT 013 is the
    proper prerequisite for SCI 155no high school
    lab science is required. That course would then
    become the prerequisite for a second science
    course, BIO 105 or 106. OR
  • If your advisee has completed between 18-20
    credits with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, the student
    can take BIO 105 and then BIO 106 without any
    Colleague evidence of a high school lab science.
    These parameters were established by the
    Department of Biology. OR
  • Your advisee can take a three credit science and
    use that as a prerequisite for BIO 105 or BIO
    106.

12
Mathematics Coursesfor LA Majors
  • Advisees generally choose from one of the
    following sequencesMAT 101 and 102 MAT 123 and
    124 MAT 129 and 131.
  • MAT 101 has a prerequisite of MAT 013. MAT 123
    has a prerequisite of MAT 014. MAT 129 has a
    prerequisite of MAT 014 with a grade of B or
    better. If an advisee receives a C or C in
    MAT 014 and is interested in the MAT 129-131
    sequence, the advisee should register for MAT
    129A.
  • Advisees should check with the Department of
    Counseling and Career Services about the math
    sequence best suited for their transfer purposes.
    LABUS majors are most often required to complete
    MAT 129-131 for transfer purposes.
