The General Education Core provides the fundamentals of liberal arts education. It is the foundation of the Associate of Arts (“A.A.”) and the Associate of Science (“A.S.”) degrees. The General Education Core is constituted of courses that are accepted toward general education requirements at most of Virginia’s 4- year colleges and universities.

The General Education Core credit hour requirements applicable to the Associate of Arts Degree and the Associate of Science Degree are listed below. All students must meet the core requirements. The Core Courses listed below identifies those RBC courses that fulfill core requirements for the degree.

Choose one course from each of the following areas:


Computer Proficiency: 0-3 Credit Hours


The Computer Proficiency Exam will no longer be available to current students after August 31, 2022. 

Beginning Fall 2021, CSCI 202 Computer Applications I and CSCI 203 Computer Applications II are no longer offered by RBC, and transfer credit from other institutions will not be given for these courses.   If you have previously taken CSCI 202 or 203 at RBC, it will apply it to the Computer Proficiency requirement of the AA or AS degree.  

Note:


Courses with an asterisk (*) can be used to satisfy the requirement of only one category.  A student may not satisfy the requirements in both the Human Experience and US & World Cultures exclusively with Philosophy and Religion courses.
