General Education Core Courses

Overview

To receive the Associate of Applied Science degree, a student must complete all of the required coursework found in the Career Certificate option, Technical certificate option, and a minimum of 15 semester hours of General Education core. The courses in the General Education Core may be spaced out over the entire length of the program so that students complete some academic and Career Technical courses each semester or provided primarily within the last semester. Each community college will specify the actual courses that are required to meet the General Education Core Requirements for the Associate of Applied Science degree at their college. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) Section 9 Standard 3 of the Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement1 describes the general education core.

Section 9 Standard 3: 3. The institution requires the successful completion of a general education component at the undergraduate level that a) is based on a coherent rationale. b) is a substantial component of each undergraduate degree program. For degree completion in associate programs, the component constitutes a minimum of 15 semester hours of the equivalent; for baccalaureate programs, a minimum of 30 semester hours or the equivalent. c) ensures breadth of knowledge. These credit hours include at least one course from each of the following areas: humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences, and natural science/mathematics. These courses do not narrowly focus on those skills, techniques, and procedures specific to a particular occupation or profession.

National Certification & Standards

National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER)

The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) is a not‐for‐profit 501(c)(3) Education foundation created in 1996. It was developed with the support of more than 125 construction CEOs and various association and academic leaders who united to revolutionize training for the construction industry. Sharing the common goal of developing a safe and productive workforce, these companies created a standardized training and credentialing program for the industry. This progressive program has evolved into curricula for more than 70 craft areas and a complete series of more than 70 assessments offered in over 4,000 NCCER‐accredited training and assessment locations across the United States.

NCCER develops standardized construction and maintenance curricula and assessments with portable credentials. These credentials are tracked through NCCER’s National Registry which allows organizations and companies to track the qualifications of their craft professionals and/or check the qualifications of possible new hires. The National Registry also assists craft professionals by maintaining their records in a secure database.

NCCER’s process of accreditation, instructor certification, standardized curriculum, national registry, assessment, and certification is a key component in the industry’s workforce development efforts. NCCER also drives multiple initiatives to enhance career development and recruitment efforts for the industry. NCCER is headquartered in Alachua, Fl., and is affiliated with the University of Florida's M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction.

As the accrediting body for the industry, NCCER establishes the benchmark for quality training and assessments. By partnering with industry and academia, NCCER has developed a system for program accreditation that is similar to those found in institutions of higher learning. This process fosters national unity among the construction industry while providing a defined career path with industry‐recognized credentials.

NCCER’s accreditation process assures that students and craft professionals receive quality training based on uniform standards and criteria. These standards are outlined in the NCCER Accreditation Guidelines and must be adhered to by all NCCER Accredited Training Sponsors and Accredited Assessment Centers.

Programs that offer an Associate of Applied Science Degree must include all of the required Career Certificate courses, Technical Certificate courses AND a minimum of 15 semester hours of General Education Core Courses. The courses in the General Education Core may be spaced out over the entire length of the program so that students complete some academic and Career Technical courses each semester. Each community college specifies the actual courses that are required to meet the General Education Core Requirements for the Associate of Applied Science Degree at their college. 
• In order to provide flexibility within the districts, individual courses within a framework may be customized by doing the following: 
  • Adding new student learning outcomes to complement the existing competencies and suggested objectives in the program framework 
  • Revising or extending the student learning outcomes 
  • Adjusting the semester credit hours of a course to be up 1 hour or down 1 hour (after informing the Mississippi Community College Board [MCCB] of the change)

Research Abstract

In the fall of 2024, the Office of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment met with different industry members who made up the advisory committees for the Carpentry Technology program. An industry questionnaire was used to gather feedback concerning the trends and needs, both current and future, of their field. Program faculty, administrators, and industry members were consulted regarding industry workforce needs and trends.

Industry advisory team members from colleges involved with this program were asked to give input related to changes to be made to the curriculum framework. Specific comments related to soft skills needed in this program include being at work every day and on time and having math skills to complete work orders and other forms.

Occupation‐specific skills stated include knowing basic math skills, blueprint reading, awareness of safety guidelines, cost estimation, and troubleshooting. Safety practices emphasized include practicing all safety rules and wearing the proper safety equipment.

Instructors and administrators from colleges throughout the state were also asked to give input on changes to be made to the curriculum framework. Both felt the need to adopt the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) standards.
