Butler General Education Bucket Requirements (34-35)
Butler Community College participates in the Kansas systemwide general education (SGE) framework within AA and AS degrees.  The SGE framework includes 34-35 credit hours organized in 7 “buckets” each identified by an individual SGE code.   
	- All students are required to take EG101 and EG102 from Bucket 1.
 
	- All students are required to take either SP100 or SP102 from Bucket 2.
 
	- All students are required to take one math course from Bucket 3.
 
	- All other buckets where a course is marked as preferred, students can choose any course listed in the state approved bucket if they meet the prerequisite for the course. 
 
	- Courses in any of the buckets 3-7 not marked preferred are mandatory in the pathway unless an alternative is approved by the dean overseeing the pathway.
 
	- Courses listed in the Pathway not identified with a bucket are required for completion of the given degree pathway and are not intended to fulfill the state approved general education bucket package.
