General Education Courses
General Education Requirements
Students who are enrolled in a diploma program are not required to earn general education credits. Students enrolled in the Associate’s Degree program are required to successfully complete 15 credit-hours of applied general education courses. The specific areas of general education studies are:
- Quantitative Principles (math) – required
- Written/Oral Communication – required
- Natural and Physical Sciences
- Social and Behavioral Sciences
- Humanities and Fine Arts
- Applied general education courses that support technical learning programs
Three credits of Written/Oral Communication and three credits of Quantitative Principles are required. Students must then select three, three-credit courses from six other areas of study in order to earn the remaining nine credits. A “C” (70) or better must be earned in a general education course in order to apply credit toward the Associate’s degree program.
Students may submit general education credits earned at accredited colleges and universities to The Landing School for transfer evaluation. Transfer credits may be awarded for courses that are relevant to careers in the marine industry and appropriate to meet The Landing School’s general education requirements. It is the sole responsibility and authority of The Landing School to award transfer credit.
