General Studies

General Studies (Associate in Science Degree)

The general studies curriculum is designed for students who wish to explore a broad range of subjects and interests. Maximum flexibility in the choice of courses is permitted. This is often the program of choice for students who seek education as a lifelong endeavor.

Students interested in transferring to a four-year institution may benefit from a general studies degree with a maximum of acceptable transfer credits. Early identification of an upper division school is encouraged to allow for ease of transfer. Students should contact a transfer counselor or faculty advisor to assist in this process.
