Overview

The online option for General Studies Associate in Science degree program offers the flexibility of earning your degree fully online.

It is designed primarily for students whose special interests cannot be accommodated within a Liberal Arts degree program. With more open electives and fewer required courses than the Liberal Arts and Sciences degree, the General Studies degree offers greater flexibility for individual interest and needs. It is also for those who wish to develop a broader base of knowledge for intellectual stimulation and personal growth.

This program is suitable for transfer to a four-year institution, but the assistance of an academic advisor is recommended to provide guidance in choosing electives. You are advised to check the specific requirements of the institution and major to which you intend to transfer. With your academic advisor, you can create a program of study suitable for transfer to a four-year college, or as preparation for particular self-defined goals.
