General Education Core
GECo Program
 The
GECo Program 
Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College has developed its
General Education Core (GECo) program to meet the educational developmental
needs of persons pursuing an Associate of Arts degree, Associate of Applied
Science degree, or Associate of Applied Science degree in Occupational
Education.
The GECo program is designed for students who work full-time and want to begin
or continue their college studies in the evenings and on weekends. Classes are
offered on an accelerated schedule (half-semester terms), beginning at different
times of the year. Classes meet one night a week and at least one Saturday each
half-semester term (on a year-round basis), allowing students to complete the
program in the shortest time possible.
