General Studies Concentration

Associate of Arts

The General Studies curriculum is designed for students who desire to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program, and who want the flexibility to broaden or narrow their first two years of undergraduate education. Students, with the guidance of an academic advisor, can design a transfer curriculum to meet particular needs as well as the specific requirements of the institution to which they may transfer.
In addition, the General Studies program provides for students who want a two-year education designed to meet their goals in a degree program but who do not intend to transfer.
