Program DescriptionIn the 2024-25 academic year, The Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) approved the Systemwide General Education Framework. It is comprised of 34-35 credit hours organized in six discipline-based “buckets” and an institutionally designed bucket. A student who satisfies all seven buckets will complete the systemwide GE program. Please note this framework applies to the completion of General Education requirements required for the Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees only. Students that have not completed the General Education requirements for the AA, AFA, or AS, will have coursework reviewed on a course-by-course basis. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and the Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree do not apply to the KBOR Systemwide General Education Framework. Please see your JCCC Counselor if you are pursing the AAS or AGS degree. | |

Degree requirements at the four-year colleges are subject to change by those institutions. To ensure you have the most accurate information about the program, you must meet with an advisor at the transfer institution. | |
