 Return to: Degree and Certificate Programs
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 four-year institution. Students who wish transferability in coursework are strongly urged to consult with the college of their choice for recommended classes.
