Associate in General Education

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. 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.
