NCC's General Education Specialized Diploma

The General Education Specialized Diploma program allows Dual Enrollment students to complete general education courses at a fraction of the cost of the same credits at a four-year institution. Students will:

• Prepare for Associate Degree completion or transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor's degree in the major of your choice.
• Utilize online course offerings to better fit your schedule.
• Explore a variety of fields and discover what subjects suit you best.
• Gain a well-rounded understanding of social, cultural, behavioral, scientific and computer-related subjects.
