Whether you're just getting started or already have some college credit, the Associate of General Studies degree may be an excellent choice. An Associate's degree allows you to meet short-term educational goals and gain critical-thinking, problem-solving, math and communication skills to help you move ahead in your current job or prepare you for a new career.

To earn an Associate of General Studies degree, you will complete 60 credit hours, or roughly 20 classes. The program of study fulfills the core requirements for a four-year degree, but it also allows you to explore a wide range of information in many disciplines. Plus, you will customize your program of study by taking 12 hours of electives and 12 hours in a concentration area that you select - you can focus on subjects that connect to your current position or prepare you for your dream job.
