The General Studies Curriculum serves a two-fold function: (1) to enable students
to explore the general areas of higher education and to help them to determine a major
field of concentration; and (2) to serve as a curriculum which, through the wide selection
of elective courses, can be adapted to satisfy specific requirements of a particular
four-year college to which the student desires to transfer.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate
of Science degree in General Studies.
Note: Students must work closely with their advisor in selecting appropriate elective
courses.
