Let’s say you’re interested in continuing your education at Schoolcraft College. You know you want to do SOMETHING, but aren’t sure quite yet what that something is. Just figuring out that first step can be a bit overwhelming.
Don’t worry – we can help. If you’re ready to step on the path – even if you’re not sure yet where it will take you – general education (gen ed) classes are a great way to start.
General education classes create the foundation of any career you’d like to pursue. For example, all Associate of Applied Science degrees awarded by Schoolcraft College require:
- 2 English communication courses
- 1 humanities course

You are not alone – we can help
Your Academic Advisor is your best resource for navigating your path forward. Again, if you’re not sure what that path is just yet, that’s OK, too. Academic Advisors can help with academic, career and transfer questions. They can help you define your goals, identify appropriate majors to reach that goal and create an academic plan for each step.
So remember, once you’re admitted, get started on selecting your general education classes to start creating your own path to success.
