The Associate of Arts degree in General Studies provides a strong foundation and flexible
pathway for students to achieve their ultimate goal of graduating with a bachelor's
degree. This two-year degree program allows students to explore a variety of disciplines
while completing general education coursework in mathematics, science, humanities,
art, and social sciences. The program consists of 60 credit hours, 24 of which must
meet general education requirements, and 36 of which are electives (including up to
9 hours at the 300-level). For students planning to pursue a specific bachelor's degree,
elective courses should be chosen with the requirements of their future degree in
mind. All general studies students have access to dedicated and supportive advising
to ensure they get the most out of their degree and are set on a path to successfully
pursue their educational and career goals. See the course catalog for more information and requirements.
