The Transfer General Education
Core Curriculum (TGECC)
The Arizona public community colleges and The University of Arizona have agreed upon a common structure for a general education core curriculum. This common agreement is called the Transfer General Education Core Curriculum (TGECC). The TGECC is composed of a minimum of 41 semester units of lower-division general education course work in which a student may prepare for transfer. Students transferring from an Arizona community college to the University have the option of completing the lower-division general education requirements at the University or completing the TGECC.
Completing the TGECC will fulfill lower-division general education requirements at the University. Students utilizing this option will still be required to fulfill lower-division program requirements and prerequisites within their college and major/minor area of study. In order to complete a degree program efficiently, students should select courses to meet the TGECC requirements that will also fulfill program requirements in the college and major they intend to pursue upon transfer. The requirements for the TGECC are available through the Arizona community college advising center.
