Associate of General Studies

Design Your Degree

The Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree is a flexible, student-centered program designed to accommodate a wide range of educational and career goals. Rather than following a structured pathway intended for transfer to a four-year institution, this degree allows students to create an individualized course of study tailored to their personal interests or professional objectives. It is particularly well-suited for those completing shorter-term career programs, seeking to enhance specific job skills, or adjusting their academic plans after initially pursuing a different direction. With minimal course restrictions, the AGS degree provides an accessible and adaptable option for earning an associate credential while meeting unique academic or career aspirations.
