Competency Requirement in History
and Constitution
 


Every student who receives an associate degree or certificate from a University System of Georgia institution is required by the Georgia legislature to show competency in United States and Georgia history and a knowledge of the constitutions of the United States and Georgia. Successful completion of POLS 1101 fulfills the constitution requirements for both career-technology and college-transfer students. Successful completion of HIST 2112 fulfills the history competency requirements. A student who transfers American History and/or Political Science courses from institutions outside the state must also fulfill the legislative requirements in Georgia history and/or Constitution by examination. Certificate students must pass examinations on the Georgia and U.S. Constitutions and must meet the Georgia and U.S. History competency requirement through a course or examination.
