Colorado Guaranteed Transfer Program for General Education
The Colorado Department of Higher Education, in consultation with Colorado's public colleges and universities, has developed a standardized concept of general education and identified the specific courses to satisfy these general education requirements. These specific courses have been designed to ensure that students demonstrate competency in reading, critical thinking, written communication, mathematics and technology. Within this framework, general education provides the student with the opportunity to apply these skills across diverse disciplines, including communication, mathematics, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.
In addition, the State Guaranteed General Education Courses are identified by the following designations:
GT — Guaranteed Transfer Course Disciplines:
AH - Arts and Humanities
AH1 – Arts and Expression
AH2 – Literature and Humanities
AH3 – Ways of Thinking
AH4 – Foreign Languages
CO - Communications
CO1-Introductory Writing Course
CO2-Intermediate Writing Course
HI - History
MA - Mathematics
SC - Physical and Life Sciences
SC1 – Science with Laboratory
SC2 – Science without Laboratory
SS - Social and Behavioral Sciences
SS1 – Economic and Political Systems
SS2 – Geography
SS3 – Human Behavior, Cultural or Social Frameworks
The following courses have been identified by the Colorado Department of Higher Education as being the Colorado Guaranteed Transfer Program for General Education:
Note: These courses may be completed at any Colorado public higher education institution beginning Summer 2003. Completion of the course requirements by credit for prior learning or transfer from any other institution may meet FRCC degree requirements but invalidate the guaranteed transfer of A.A. /A.S. Degrees.
