The General Studies degree provides students with the opportunity to design a program in broad interdisciplinary areas. Students may select one of two options. One option provides an emphasis in an Applied Science program. The second option is to create a liberal arts cluster which may facilitate transfer to a baccalaureate degree program at a four-year institution. The general studies degree normally requires two years of study.

Option A General Studies with an emphasis in an Applied Science program.
Complete two-thirds or 67 percent of the technical course credits in a specific Applied Science program to include the required core courses for all areas of emphasis. Technical option credits may be applied to the 67 percent minimum, but they cannot exceed the number specified in the program. Refer to the core requirements here: AGS Degree Information [152KB, .pdf]

Option B General Studies with an area of concentration.
Complete 36 credits or more from a cluster of related courses the student and his/her adviser identify. They should identify the cluster courses as soon as possible after enrollment, but no later than the term prior to the term in which he/she plans to graduate.
