General Education is the core and foundation of the American educational experience, defining a set of values, skills and ideas that give a sense of coherence and connectedness to the learning process.

Yavapai College recognizes that general education is essential for personal and intellectual growth, an effective and innovative workforce, and a successful and vibrant civic society.

Yavapai College’s General Education program is designed to encourage curiosity and an active interest in the world; practical, disciplined thinking; the development of personal and civic values; and a willingness to acknowledge and appreciate diverse cultural and historical perspectives.

If a college or university approaches Yavapai College to establish a transfer partnership, or if Yavapai College would like to pursue a transfer agreement:

1. Notify the Curriculum Coordinator in the Office of Instruction. The Curriculum Coordinator will speak to the Associate VP-Student Affairs to ascertain need and then will initiate a discussion or meeting with the transfer institution to obtain an articulation agreement (generally standard).
2. If necessary, the Office of Instruction will provide and verify course-by-course or program requirements to supplement the agreement. Occasionally, a specific division or department will be contacted for additional detailed information (e.g., Nursing).
3. The agreement will be forwarded to the Associate VP-Student Affairs for review, who will forward it to the Provost for review. Changes/edits will be noted and returned to the Office of Instruction.
4. The updated agreement will be forwarded to Procurement & Contract Services at procurement@yc.edu for final review/corrections. Revisions at this stage will be negotiated directly between Contract Services and the transfer institution. If necessary, the agreement will be forwarded back to the Office of Instruction for review with the Associate VP-Student Affairs and/or the Provost before signing. The YC signee will be the Director of Procurement and Contracts.
5. Procurement & Contract Services will email the final signed document to the transfer institution, maintain a copy (as the central repository for all contracts), and copy the Office of Instruction, the Associate VP-Student Affairs, and the Provost.
6. The Associate VP-Student Affairs will provide information to the Transfer Advisor to update the Advising Webpage.
