Start Smart: General Education Courses
Another Reason to Choose CLTCC!

What Are General Education Courses?
General Education courses are the foundation of every community college, college, & university degree. These courses are designed to give students a well-rounded education and develop essential skills like communication, critical thinking, and problem solving. Subjects typically include:

  • English Composition
  • College Algebra
  • Natural Sciences
  • Humanities and Fine Arts
  • Social and Behavioral Sciences

Whether you're planning to become a manufacturer, nurse, teacher, computer specialist, or anything in between, General Education courses are a vital part of your academic journey towards a degree.
