General Education Mobile (GEM) Program
With a global presence; service members and their families are acutely aware of the many unexpected changes that come with military life. As such, Fort Hays State University is committed to today's Air and Space Professionals and their educational goals.
The General Education Mobile (GEM) program is an initiative between the Air University of the U.S. Air Force and civilian higher education institutions. The purpose of the GEM partnership is to offer general education courses needed to complete an Association of Applied Science (AAS) degree through CCAF. In short, GEM points Air and Space Professionals who are working towards their AAS degree from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) to colleges and universities that provide approved general education courses in an online format.
