The Associate in Science in General Studies (AGS) is designed to offer students an individualized degree program to meet specific occupational/career objectives that cannot be reached in other College degree programs. The degree enables students to self design a concentration of studies or combine previously earned college credits or life work experience with course work that will enhance personal/career objectives. Students are required to complete a coherent content concentration of studies (32 credits) combined with 32 credits of core General Education and open electives to equal a total of 64 credits total.

The purposes of the Associate in Science in General Studies degree are:

  • to offer a flexible curriculum that may be self designed to meet professional or occupational needs;
  • to provide an avenue for students to expand Certificate or Diploma programs into an Associate Degree;
  • to provide an avenue for the transfer of acceptable credits earned at other colleges.

The applicant must be prepared to articulate purpose and goals for their pursuit of the Associate Degree in General Studies during the admission interview with the program director. All self designed degree students must register for GSTC102 Program Design Portfolio during their first academic year at the college.
