Notes:

The Associate in General Studies degree allows students to com­bine a core of basic courses with a program that can be custom­ized to their academic goals. This degree may be appropriate for those students undecided about future educational or career goals. However, because of the flexibility of this degree, it may not fulfill requirements for transfer to a four year institution. Students should work closely with their advisor for program planning assistance.
