MassTransfer Gen Ed Foundation
The General Education courses (also called the MassTransfer Block) are a foundation of any undergraduate degree. They are a set of 34 credits that can be transferred to State Universities or UMass Campus (with the receiving institution being able to add no more than six additional credits of general education requirements).

Please note that students who complete the general education foundation will have this noted on their Massasoit transcript but it will not guarantee admission to the four-year institution or waive tuition credit.

Completing the general education foundation is a great option for students who plan to transfer prior to graduating Massasoit. The programs listed above have the general education foundation embedded in their program for ease of transfer.
