EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS!

Are you undecided about a major? If so, you are not alone. About 25% of Fort Hays State University students are undecided or change majors at some point in their college careers. That's why FHSU created a unique exploratory program called the Associate of General Studies (AGS).

The AGS program can provide the opportunity to study topics and issues you might find interesting and help you to discover your strengths and skills. The program offers an intellectually exciting and academically demanding curriculum for students seeking a college degree designed especially to meet their educational needs. At the end of your first two years, you will have earned an AGS degree. The degree can be an intermediate step on your way to a bachelor's degree. Most importantly, the program provides the freedom to select a major and go on to fulfill the bachelor's degree of your choice.

Many students are taking of advantage of Acceleration Mechanisms (ACE, CLEP, DANTES, etc.) to complete 30 of the AGS credit hours. No more than a combined total of 30 hours will be accepted within the AGS program. Prior to taking accelerated exams, please review the FHSU credit policies identified in each exam description.
