General Education Requirements

 

Pretty much all colleges and universities require students to complete a mix of courses as part of awarding Bachelor's degrees. These courses are generally grouped into 3 areas

  1. Major or Program of Study requirements
  2. General or Free Electives
  3. General Education requirements.

Courses that make up general education requirements usually fall in these areas

  • Writing requirement
  • Math or quantitative reasoning
  • Humanities
  • Behavioral/Social Sciences
  • Lab Sciences

Course Equivalencies

 

Typically colleges grant transfer credit for QCC college level courses which are passed with a “C” or higher grade and which fit that college’s curriculum. Below you  will find links to colleges that post "course equivalencies" an online listing of QCC courses that match those at the receiving school. If you don't see a college you are looking for, you can check with the Transfer Office to see if a hard copy list exists.

 

But the easiest, fastest, and most accurate way to find out if your QCC courses will transfer is to make an appointment with the transfer admissions staff at the school you where you would like to enroll. Take a copy of your grades, or an unofficial transcript, and ask them to look it over. They will give you an "estimate" of transfer credits only. You will still need to send official QCC transcripts when you apply in order to get true transfer credit for your courses.

 

Here is an ever-growing list of general course equivalencies and general education (or graduation) requirement course equivalencies.
