Transfer Certificate: General Education

The Certificate in General Education is a flexible program that offers the student an opportunity to combine courses to meet a subset of lower level general education requirements at a four-year college or university. The Certificate is not intended to represent a comprehensive general education core or to insure the same ease of transferability as the transfer degrees. The program consists of 33 credits that may be selected in consultation with an advisor or counselor to ensure they are appropriate to meet the student’s transfer and educational goals.


Under current guidelines, Federal financial aid cannot be used to enroll in the General Education Certificate program. Students intending to use financial aid should enroll in one of the college’s A.A. or A.S. transfer degree programs.
