General Education Requirements

Roxbury Community College offers over twenty associate degree and certificate programs. An Associate Degree is an undergraduate qualification encompassing coursework in three key areas: general education, career and/or liberal arts electives, and program-specific requirements. RCC provides two types of associate degrees:

  • Associate in Arts (A.A.): This degree aims to prepare students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
  • Associate in Science (A.S.): This degree is designed to equip students for immediate entry into the workforce. Additionally, many A.S. programs offer transfer opportunities to four-year institutions.

Associate Degree programs generally cover the first two years of a bachelor's degree. To ease the transition to a four-year institution, students should consult with an academic advisor to map out their RCC coursework.

Certificate programs are intended to provide targeted knowledge and skills to advance careers. These certificates are stackable and students apply the coursework from a certificate program towards an associate degree.
