Does this mean that I can get my bachelors, without doing general studies (algebra, etc.?)
I.E., I get an AA CJ.. Then, I can get my bachelors without ever taking general studies?

If you're transferring from a community college to Bellevue University and have already earned an associate's degree – congratulations! We accept ALL associate’s degrees:
Associate of Arts
Associate of Science
Associate of General Science
Associate of Applied Science

Short answer: Nope
Long answer: You get credit for equivalent classes but, you still have to fulfill the requirements for a bachelors from the college at Bellevue University. So, if Bellevue requires algebra etc. for a bachelors, you still got to take it.

There is no way you could pass 200-400 level math classes without taking sub 100-200 level math classes.

Nice try though.

I'm pretty sure most universities want you to take humanities and liberal arts classes because they want your mone... I mean, they want you to be a "well rounded" student.

The general studies would have been a requirement of the associates degree, no?

Usually yes but, universities never take an AA as a block of credits. They only ever give credit for equivalent classes and in rare cases, experience. So, if the associates was awarded without the equivalent number and type of general studies required by the university, he still has to take classes in whatever area those pre reqs were not met.

Sup 200 level math classes are what you take if you failed math in high school...

Incorrect actually.

Sub 100 level classes are high school equivalents. Unless you took some major math classes in high school, you end math at essentially math 65. Math 95 expands on advanced algebra and then math 111 you are a bit above high school. Some folks somehow manage to place into 250 level classes after high school, but some math foundations are missed if you place right into it.

My College was like that. A dozen or so general studies that were all in 300+ person lecture halls. Basically to keep all the tenured professors in subjects no one majored in employed. "Well rounded" they kept telling us.

I suppose where I go just labels stuff oddly then. The 200 level math course here are stuff that can be done at certain high schools up to calc 3 and discrete mathematics.
100 level math were I am are mostly remedial courses. The only one's that might not be are statistics course, and maybe college algebra course, but anyone that needs that algebra course probably already had it once in high school and just did bad on math placement.
Also any major that needs statistics here needs the 400 level courses on it, the 100 level ones isn't worth anything.

Actually our remedial math classes were Math 1-4.

Calc was 200 level. Pre-Calc was 165.

I think it varies a little in numbering scheme from school to school.

The numbering system is everything. Math 400 somewhere else could be my math 200 here.

Here's how it works at my school somewhat(Please note that I go to a community college):
MATH 030 PRE-ALGEBRA
MATH 089 ALGEBRA I
MATH 090 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA
MATH 091 ALGEBRA II
MATH 093 ALGEBRA III
MATH 095 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA
MATH 098 TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS I
MATH 103 COLLEGE TRIGONOMETRY
MATH 105 FINITE MATHEMATICS
MATH 111 COLLEGE ALGEBRA
MATH 120 MATHEMATICS FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS
MATH 199 COOPERATIVE WORK EXPERIENCE
MATH 203 DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
MATH 204 INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
MATH 215 LINEAR ALGEBRA
MATH 290 SPECIAL PROJECTS
MATH&107 MATH IN SOCIETY
MATH&148 BUSINESS CALCULUS
MATH&151 CALCULUS I
MATH&152 CALCULUS II
MATH&153 CALCULUS III
MATH&254 CALCULUS IV

My school full time students paid per quarter, not class. Taking those classes didn't cost you anything and the price per quarter was cheaper than the per unit I believe which was only available through extension or something like that.

The bookstore though sure reamed us on the cost of things. Though I doubt it was enough to make up for having to offer and require people to take the class.

They make you take pointless classes so you stay in school longer, so more money for them...
