Heart of Georgia Technical College has identified a set of core general education competencies designed to prepare graduates for successful careers. HGTC has identified the following general education competencies that graduates must attain prior to graduation:
All graduates from a degree, diploma, or Technical Certificate of Credit with a general education component will be required to demonstrate a minimum level of achievement in each area prior to graduation. Degrees, diploma, or technical certificates of credit will not be issued to students prior to completion of this requirement nor will participation in graduation commencement be permitted. Students not attaining the required level must participate in remediation prior to taking the general education competency assessments again. Remediation is done through GAP training, and is available free to all students any time prior to or after testing. The assessments and required levels are as follows.
