  • General Education (Core 42)

    Core 42State Fair Community College faculty and staff maintain the belief that a core of learning experiences exist that are invaluable to all students regardless of their present or future roles in the workplace and the community. These core experiences, which are addressed and assessed in the general education program, are consistent with the required skill-based and knowledge-based learning outcomes identified by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE). They are also consistent with the college’s Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) that students will achieve upon completion of their general or specialized study.

    The CBHE outcomes include mastering the skills of communicating, higher-order thinking, managing information, and valuing through the completion of at least 42-semester hours. These are distributed across the broad knowledge areas of communications, humanities and fine arts, natural and mathematical sciences, and social and behavioral sciences. The ILOs include thinking critically, communicating effectively, behaving responsibly, valuing others, developing life skills, utilizing technology, and investigating world processes. The basic competencies are achieved through the completion of the CORE 42 in its entirety.

    More information on Core 42 is available in the SFCC Catalog.
