General Education at Tri-County Technical College is a college-wide program of learning that provides students with a foundation for becoming well-educated individuals. This curriculum provides students with foundational knowledge, skills, and values to communicate effectively, think critically, and connect intentionally. Effective communicators deliver and receive messages with clarity to reach mutual understanding. A critical thinker uses logical reasoning to achieve a conclusion or outcome. An individual who connects intentionally utilizes prior knowledge, skills, and experiences to current circumstances in order to build knowledge, relationships, and promote success in the workplace.
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.
