Resources for Educators
gtPathways Curriculum
gtPATHWAYS is a set of general education courses that the state guarantees to transfer. Receiving institutions shall apply guaranteed general education courses to a student's general education or major requirements. Approved courses in gtPATHWAYS are not based on course equivalencies but meet content and competency criteria.
NOTE: All state community colleges (CCCS), along with Aims Community College and Colorado Mountain College, share common general education core course numbers, prefixes and title. Wherever “CCCS” appears next to a course on the lists of approved gtPathways courses, the designated course (e.g., CCCS BIO III) is approved for all community colleges that offer the course.
