Through the partnership, the College will offer 18 online general education classes to more than 300,000 United States Air Force and United State Space Force personnel pursuing a CCAF Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree.
CCAF was established April 1, 1972 at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas and is a federallychartered academic institution that serves Air Force and Space Force enlisted members. CCAF is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
The GEM program allows CCAF students to enroll in classes at partner academic institutions to fulfill general education course requirements needed for the A.A.S. degree.
“It is an honor to partner with the Community College of the Air Force to offer our quality general education courses to active duty military members," said Dr. Laura Ross, Seminole State vice president of academic affairs.
There are currently 126 GEM partner schools serving Air Force students around the world. Seminole State is one of five public colleges in the state of Florida and the only Central Florida institution offering the GEM program.
Seminole State College of Florida, established in 1965, serves nearly 30,000 students across six sites in Central Florida.
