Diploma programs are comprised of general core courses and occupational courses, with a range of 40-59 semester credit hours required for graduation; some programs may exceed 59 credit hours to meet professional credentialing or licensure or by official exception of the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia. A minimum of 28 semester credit hours are required in occupational courses. Each diploma program requires a minimum of 9 semester credit hours in basic skills general core courses. Associate level general education core courses ENGL 1101, PSYC 1101 and MATH 1103 or 1111 may be substituted to meet the diploma level minimum requirement of 9 semester credit hours in basic skills general core courses.
