ASSOCIATE OF GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE
The Associate of General Studies degree enables students to combine a broad core of basic
courses with a program that can be tailored to their personal, academic, or professional goals.
This degree may enhance current employment and/or fulfill the requirements for a specific
college or university program. Intended as a flexible degree for students who are not pursing a
specified curriculum in the transfer or professional-technical area, the degree may also be
appropriate for students who are undecided about future educational or career goals. Many
General Studies graduates continue their studies at a college or university in such diverse fields
as literature, fine and performing arts, education, religion, human services, philosophy, political
and social sciences, and sports.
