Cloud County Community College is a participant in the Kansas Board of Regents Systemwide General Education which facilitates transfer within the KBOR system. 

The systemwide general education program framework is comprised of 34-35 credit hours organized into six discipline-based areas and a seventh, institutionally-designated area. This area includes technical courses to allow students to explore options in those disciplines, performance courses, and other courses that are beneficial to multiple disciplines.
