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. Students should meet with KCC advisors and the institution to which they will transfer to make sure that they are taking the correct courses.
