The development of competence in critical thinking, writing, speaking, problem-solving, and information literacy is essential to a student’s educational and career success. General Education courses provide students with the opportu-nity to develop these skills. (See MCCC policy at www.mccc.edu/catalog/catalog_general, page 28.) The following courses approved for the purposes of General Education at Mercer County Community College are regarded as General Education courses at many, but not all, other colleges and universities in New Jersey and other states. The Statewide Transfer Agreement guarantees transfer of all approved courses that meet General Education requirements for graduates from A.A. and A.S. programs transferring to New Jersey’s four-year public colleges and universities. Non-graduates may determine whether particular courses will meet requirements at other New Jersey col-leges or universities via NJ Transfer (www.njtransfer.org). Students interested in transferring to out-of-state colleges and universities should consult the catalogs, websites, and staff of those institutions. Students are advised to review the specific General Education requirements in their chosen MCCC program of study.

Look for this indicator of approved General Education courses throughout course descriptions at www.mccc.edu/catalog/catalog_courses.
