The TOCC Himdag
Requirement |
|
|
TOCC encourages the growth of students’ cultural knowledge by
seeking to transmit learning in ways that respect the Tohono O’odham
Himdag. To ensure that learning about the Himdag is shared as
broadly as possible, TOCC requires formal study of the Tohono
O’odham culture.
TOCC has a Tohono O’odham Himdag requirement for graduation in all
programs of study. All students are required to take two classes in
Tohono O’odham culture:
1. HIS 122 Tohono O’odham History and Culture; and
2. THO 101 Elementary Tohono O’odham I
A grade of “C” or better is required to fulfill the Himdag
requirement.
Students at TOCC take HIS 122 to fulfill the Himdag requirement, and
they can apply the class to one of the General Education Categorical
Requirements (AGEC/Hum or AGEC/Soc-Beh). |

|
THO 101 may also apply to General Education requirements. Students
should meet with TOCC advisors and faculty to decide how to best
complete their General Education (AGEC) requirements alongside the
Himdag requirement.
Tohono O’odham
Language and Second Language Requirements
At universities, some bachelor’s programs have a Second Language
requirement. Even if Tohono O’odham is actually your first language,
Arizona universities will accept your proficiency as meeting this
requirement. Taking Tohono O’odham Language 101 and 102 will fulfill
the Second Language requirement for Science majors. However, other
transfer students will need to take a proficiency test in order to
prove fluency to the THO 201/202 level. TOCC is in the process of
developing 200-level THO courses. For more information on Second
Language requirements at Arizona universities, go to the statewide
Arizona transfer website, which has this URL:
