AGS is short for Associate in General Studies.
This is a two-year associate degree designed to provide students with a broad educational foundation rather than specialized skills for a particular career. It often serves as a stepping stone to a bachelor's degree.
An Associate in General Studies program typically includes coursework in a variety of subjects such as:
- Humanities
- Social Sciences
- Mathematics
- Natural Sciences
The AGS degree is beneficial for students who:
- Are undecided about their career path.
- Want a flexible degree that allows them to explore different subjects.
- Plan to transfer to a four-year university to pursue a bachelor's degree.
- Seek personal enrichment and intellectual growth.
