AREA OF INTEREST:General Studies

Whether you aren't quite sure what you want to pursue or have a set plan for transferring, the General Studies program is designed to build a broad base of knowledge and earn general education credits that will transfer to most four-year universities. Students choosing a general studies path follow a structured twelve-credit concentration in a single field, balanced with general education courses that allow for exploration of various disciplines.

This degree program encourages students to tailor their schedule to meet the requirements of their selected transfer institution while working with that institution to ensure a successful transfer of credits.
