The GEM Program
Boise State University is proud to partner with the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) to offer online general education courses for Airmen and Guardians who are working on completing their CCAF Associate of Applied Science degree requirements.
Through General Education Mobile (GEM), you can earn 15 of the general education credits you need to complete your CCAF associate degree. If you continue pursuing your education beyond your associate degree, those credits will also count toward a bachelor’s degree at Boise State. Our courses are offered in both seven- and 15-week formats for maximum flexibility. Boise State students can find how to search for available classes here.
Why complete your general education credits at Boise State?
Our team has experience working with military students and understands the unique factors that shape your educational experience. We support online students from the moment they express interest in Boise State through graduation.
