Statewide Transfer General Education Core

Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC) - Created by the 2012 General Assembly

The Statewide Transfer General Education Core consists of 30 semester hours of credit, the completion of which at one public institution means it can transfer as a block and count as satisfying the Statewide Transfer General Education Core equivalent at the receiving institution.
