General Education Initiative Description

The Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) has 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 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 pursuing the AAS or AGS degree.
