Purpose


Currently, Rule 6A-14.0303 outlines the general education core course options for students completing an associate in arts or baccalaureate degree at a Florida College System (FCS) or State University System (SUS) institution. The general education subject areas include Communication, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. This proposed amendment will modify this rule to include students earning a technical education degree, defined in s. 1004.02(13) as an associate in science (AS) or associate in applied science (AAS) degree program. The effect of this amendment is to align the rule with the new requirement, which specifies students entering a technical education degree program in the 2022-2023 academic year, and thereafter, complete at least one identified core course in each subject area as part of the general education course requirements (15 credit hours total).
