General Education Requirements


The Interstate Passport enables successful transfer of a block of lower-level general education learning to other institutions participating in the Interstate Passport Network. Students who complete their Passport at Western Wyoming Community College will not be required to repeat or take additional coursework to meet lower division general education requirements in the Passport’s nine areas when the transfer to any other Passport institution. Western will begin transcripting the Interstate Passport following the Fall 2022 semester. Students with an interest in achieving the Passport should contact their advisor. The Interstate Passport is considered complete when a student has achieved a “C” or better in one or more of the options for each of the nine learning outcome areas. The Computer Course section is not included as part of the Interstate Passport and is only considered General Education credits for AAS and BAS degrees. 

 

General Education requirements for all degrees:

  • A minimum of 30 general education credits are required for the Bachelor of Applied Science, Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Degrees.
  • A minimum of 16 general education requirements are required for the Associate of Applied Science Degree.
