GENERAL STUDIES

A. A. Degree


The General Studies program provides students the opportunity to explore diverse methods of inquiry by experiencing courses from a cross section of academic disciplines. Students will develop critical thinking skills, learn to communicate effectively in writing, and acquire an understanding of major concepts, issues, and diverse viewpoints. Through course options, students will use mathematical concepts to solve problems, employ methods of scientific inquiry to understand the world around them, and investigate health and fitness in their personal lives. Completion of the degree requirements will prepare students with the skills and resources needed to facilitate academic and career decisions. Competencies will be assessed through successful program completion rates.
