General/Exploration

The Exploration Pathway will be best for these students:

• Students who haven't chosen a program or plan of study can explore different subjects to help them decide their path forward. Designated Exploration Courses will offer classes introducing students to different subjects and allow them to pick one that fits their interests, while fulfilling the requirements for transferring to a four-year school or for an associate degree. Students can then choose one of the other pathways, or stay in the Exploration Pathway to finish with their core general education transfer requirements finished or to get the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science.
• Students whose objectives cannot be met through the college's transfer or occupational degrees can pursue the Associate in General Studies degree, which is designed to meet the students' objectives such as obtaining a two year liberal education or meeting employment needs not offered through other programs.
• Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution in pursuit of a bachelor of arts degree can complete their general education courses at KCC and earn the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) Certificate.
