General Education at Tri-County Technical College is a college-wide program of learning that provides students with a foundation for becoming well-educated people. This program provides students with foundational knowledge, skills, and values to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and collaborative and engaged citizens of a global community. A lifelong learner values and finds fulfillment in learning opportunities beyond the formal educational experience. A critical thinker engages in rational decision-making and problem-solving. A collaborative and engaged citizen appreciates uniqueness and diversity, exhibits integrity, and acknowledges the contributions of others.
To earn an associate’s degree, a student must complete at least 15 semester hours of general education coursework, including at least three semester hours of humanities/fine arts, at least three semester hours of social/behavioral sciences, and at least three semester hours of natural sciences/mathematics. Additionally, a student must complete at least 3 semester hours of written and oral communication. Students should refer to the general education section of their chosen program of study to determine the specific requirements for that program. A list of general education courses is located in the General Education Courses section.
Students enrolled in programs in the Business and Public Services Division, the Health Education Division, or the Engineering and Industrial Technology Division and are considering transferring to a four-year institution should consult with their academic advisor when choosing their general education courses, as not all courses listed will transfer or apply to intended majors.
