Two-Year Associate of General Studies Degree
The Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree is designed for students who wish to acquire a broad education.
College work may include courses selected from a variety of professional/technical and college transfer courses. Because of the flexibility of this degree, it may not fulfill requirements for transfer to a university in Oregon. When selecting courses for this degree, students should consult KCC advisors and the institution to which they will transfer to make sure that they are taking the correct courses.
