GENERAL STUDIES
Associate in Science Degree
The wide range of electives available in the General Studies curriculum permits the student who has not decided on a vocational or academic goal to explore various areas of study under the guidance of an academic advisor. With such advising, a student may create a program of study suitable as a foundation for transfer to a four year college or university, or may concentrate gradually in a particular vocational area, or may select those courses of personal intellectual stimulation. This program’s outcome is especially aligned with the General Education Outcomes for the College.
Advisor: Assigned according to student’s area of interest.
