Associate of General Studies (AGS)
The Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree is designed for students who want to receive a broad education. The AGS degree is quite flexible. Courses students take in the AGS can include transfer or career-technical courses. Students should work with an adviser to plan out courses, especially if they intend to transfer at some point.
