New online learning program gives CCAF students a leg up

By Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Community College of the Air Force has recently created a new program to help students complete general education requirements for a CCAF degree.

More than ever before, completing the written communication, oral communication, college math, social science, and humanities requirements are within reach through this new program, based solely online.

The program is called General Education Mobile and lets a student choose from 21 participating schools that offer general education requirements in a complete distance learning format. So, whether a student needs a college math, communication, or any of the general education requirements for a CCAF, there's no need to wait any longer.

After completing general education requirements with a GEM school, students may want to look into working on a bachelor's degree. You'll find the schools that accept CCAF credits, including GEM school credit, in the Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative search tool.

If you choose to participate in the GEM, be sure to fill out your tuition assistance application at the end of your GEM plan search; the GEM enrollment reason is filled in for you. This helps CCAF with tracking the success of the GEM initiative.

For any questions regarding GEM, contact the Education Office on the Air Base at 963-4575.
