ASSOCIATE OF GENERAL STUDIES (A.G.S.)
DEGREE PROGRAM

The Associate of General Studies is a degree that gives students a base of general knowledge and skills necessary to eventually move on to achieve a higher college degree.

Students in the A.G.S. degree will take a variety of subjects ranging from humanities (history, art, etc.) to natural sciences, (chemistry, astronomy, etc.). The A.G.S. degree is not as structured as the A.A. or A.S. degrees, allowing students to select more electives from fields that they are interested in.

Although the A.G.S degree does not have as many transfer options as the A.A. or A.S. degrees, with certain university partners, a Bachelor of General Studies degree can be completed without taking algebra.

The A.G.S. degree is offered fully online and on-campus

Transferability Options

The earlier you identify your transfer institution, the easier it will be to align your DC3 program of study to fit the transfer institution’s requirements.

The A.G.S. degree transfers best into Bachelor of General Studies degrees. Although most colleges and universities will accept transfer credits, for your convenience a list of institutions that have a transfer agreement with DC3 is provided below:
