This template has been developed by university and community college faculty and made specific for Durham Tech students. It is to be used as a blueprint for guiding students interested in majoring in Emergency Preparedness Management AGE in their course selections. Students who successfully complete this course of study and who meet the requirements for admission to the university may be eligible to apply for admission to the major with junior standing. Students who complete the General Education Core exclusively at community colleges in North Carolina will be able to transfer the set of courses as a package. This agreement is meant as a guide and the student should not assume that it addresses unique requirements set by his or her university of choice. It is the student’s responsibility to become aware of individual requirements of the senior institution.

General Education Core (44 SHC): 44 semester hours of credit (SHC) in general education core courses are required as outlined by the North Carolina Community College Curriculum Standards for Associate in Science degree programs. The General Education core includes study in the areas of English composition, humanities and fine arts, social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences and mathematics. 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 Emergency Preparedness Management Program Director and academic advisors work one-on-one with AGE students to fit their academic needs. Students may enroll in this individualized program any semester and can complete requirements through day, evening, or weekend classes according to availability.

The Associate in General Education degree is awarded upon successful completion of 64 semester credit hours including the minimum in each of the areas below. All courses must be numbered 110 or above.
