Gen. Ed. NICC Core Requirements
General Education Core Courses
The Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and the Associate of Applied Science degree programs have general education requirements that provide opportunities for students to practice skills needed to attain our Student Learning Outcomes and develop in these areas. The core course requirements are provided by degree on the following page. Students must pass a given course with a “D” or better in order for it to count as a core requirement.
NOTE: No general education core course can be simultaneously used for a required course in the major concentration area of study, unless specified in the degree requirements.
