General Education

The Associate in General Education curriculum aims to enrich students academically while fostering personal growth and development. Coursework spans humanities and fine arts, social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, and English composition.

The program helps students build competencies in reading, writing, oral communication, basic math, and introductory computer skills, providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Graduates are well-prepared for career advancement in their fields and gain qualifications for a diverse range of employment opportunities.

The Associate in General Education (AGE)-Nursing program provides a pathway for students aiming to pursue an Associate in Nursing and ultimately a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). This program aligns with the Uniform Articulation Agreement, facilitating transfer from North Carolina Community College nursing programs to BSN programs in the UNC system, as approved in 2015.

To earn the AGE-Nursing degree, students must complete at least 60 semester hours. Graduates with an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing, a GPA of 2.0 or higher, a grade of C or better in AGE-Nursing courses, and a current North Carolina RN license will meet UNC’s general education and nursing entry requirements. However, admission to specific BSN programs remains competitive and is not guaranteed.

Our Student Success Story!

This is my Story!

After graduating from BCC with an Associate of Arts, Allana pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at UNC Charlotte, where she was one of two students selected for early entry into the graduate program, allowing her to graduate early with a Master of Arts in Ethics and Applied Philosophy. Her master’s thesis concentrated on the consideration of mass incarceration as a social determinant of health for black women.

Allana is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Sociology and focusing her thesis on the ethical consideration of deportation as a civil versus criminal punishment. While pursuing her degrees, she taught community college classes and is currently tutoring gifted international students. After completing her master’s degree in sociology, Allana plans to pursue a Ph.D in Sociology and then attend law school, focusing on post-conviction law.
