General Education Courses for Applied Science Degrees 

Occupational degree programs (Associate in Applied Science degrees) at KCC require the completion of several general education courses. These courses assist students in becoming contributing members of society by providing them with an opportunity to explore major values, ideas and bodies of knowledge.

Through completion of general education requirements, students are expected to synthesize, develop and internalize personal values; develop a more global perspective of the human condition; strengthen basic skills in communication and computation; and integrate general and career specific learning.

The following list identifies the courses which meet KCC's general education requirements for students seeking Associate in Applied Science degrees. These general education courses also apply to students seeking Associate in Liberal Studies degrees. Career students intending to transfer should consult a counselor about IAI transfer requirements. Students in transfer degree programs should refer to general education requirements on Pages 63-65.
