The Maricopa County Community College District Arizona General Education Curriculum (MCCCD AGEC) is a 35-semester-credit general education certificate that fulfills lower-division general education requirements for students planning to transfer to any Arizona public community college or university. The MCCCD AGEC transfers as a block without loss of credit.

The AGEC S is designed to satisfy requirements in majors with more prescriptive mathematics and mathematics-based science requirements. AGEC S articulates with the Associate in Science. AGEC S requires a minimum of the first course in a calculus sequence to satisfy the Mathematics [MA] requirement, and a minimum of eight credits of either university chemistry, university physics or general biology to satisfy the Natural Sciences [SQ/SG] requirement.
