Students in the General Education Program receive the Associate in General
Education degree (AGE) upon completion of 64 credit hours. The flexible
AGE program is designed for individuals wishing to broaden their education
with emphasis on personal interest, growth, and development. This program
is not designed as a transfer program. The two-year AGE program provides
students opportunities to study English, literature, fine arts, philosophy,
social science, science, and mathematics at the college level and to
explore technical areas of study.
A total of 64 credit hours is required for the Associate in General
Education degree; and each student must complete a minimum 18-hour group
of courses in English, social sciences, humanities, and mathematics/science.
The remaining hours may be selected from any courses numbered 110 and
above as found in the North Carolina Community College System Common
Course Library. Credits from other colleges and universities will be
evaluated on an individual basis.
Students who already have a college degree may transfer up to 36 hours
of coursework into the General Education program for elective hours.
Courses that are equivalent to the 18-hour group of courses will also
be accepted for transfer. Students seeking a first degree may transfer
more than 36 elective hours into the program, provided that at least
¼ of the total credit hours required are completed at Durham
Tech including 9 of the final 18 hours.
At Durham Tech, the Program Director and academic advisors work one-on-one
with AGE students to individualize their plans of study to fit their
academic needs. Students may enroll in this individualized program any
semester and can complete requirements through day, evening, or weekend
classes.
