General Education

Start Here

Are you planning to attend college, but don’t have a specific school or major in mind? Start with our General Education Certificate, which assigns you to an academic advisor who will help you to explore possible careers. As you complete the core courses that make up the first-year requirements at most four-year schools, you’ll work with a counselor who will help you select a transfer college.

TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
RCC has guaranteed admissions agreements with over 30 four-year schools throughout Virginia.

Details, in general

The General Education Certificate spans over two semesters and is made up of 11 classes and 33 credits. Thanks to the flexible design of this program, most colleges will accept these classes as part of your first-year requirements.
