She said this is a substantive change for STC and LTC students. Any general education will transfer after SACS accreditation, Mar-shall said. She said that after a year in the workforce, if a technical college graduate decided to pursue a four-year degree, all their general education classes would count toward it. For a student in Law Enforcement Technology, that would add up to at least 45 hours of college credit. This will allow maximum flexibility in career choices, Mar-shall said.
Students can go to work or go further and complete their bachelor s degree.
There will be no duplication, it will cut costs and allow us to serve more students more effectively and efficiently through pooling our resources, Marshall said. In addition, she said the Somerset District would likely be getting a name-change. Proposals include Southern Kentucky College and Technical College District, Lake Cumberland Community and Technical College District as South Central College and Technical College District.
