Accelerated General Education
This innovative program is tailored for busy, working professionals who wish to complete their General Education requirements from the convenience of anywhere they want SLCC to be. We can bring the classroom to your workplace or you can complete courses online from the comfort of your own home. The program is accelerated so you can earn your General Education requirements in as little as 12 months! For individuals interested in the Associate of Science in Business degree, there will be an opportunity to transition to the Accelerated Business A.S. program.
Quality Instruction
The program utilizes professional instructors and full-time advisors who work as a team to ensure courses are integrated and meet high academic standards.
Designed for Working Professionals
Students move through the program as a group and generally take two to three classes each ten-week session. The courses may be offered onsite at your workplace or online.
Predictable Schedule
We can work with your employer to determine a schedule for onsite courses or you can take courses online with your cohort.
Accreditation
Classes in the program are accredited and may transfer to four-year institutions with many program and major options. Salt Lake Community College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
The Accelerated General Education (AGE) program offers classes to help professionals earn required General Education credits at an accelerated pace and convenient location. Students move through the program as a cohort, completing two or three courses in each 10 week block. The AGE program is designed for students committed to completing the program with their cohort. The program can also be offered on-site at companies and may be great for team building at work and getting to know others in the company.
Cohort students must complete the placement exam and be eligible to register for MATH 1010 and ENGL 1010. To be considered for the AGE program apply below.
The program schedule is listed below. Classes are scheduled in advance and a spot is reserved for each student. Throughout the program, students are notified of important registration information and class dates. Students are encouraged to work with an academic advisor throughout the program to ensure all requirements are met for the desired degree or certificate.
