Entry into the Major and the Associate of General Studies Degree<\/h4>\n

The Associate of General Studies Degree has been designed to prepare students for entry into one of the many baccalaureate degree programs offered by the University. The AGS degree validates the importance of general education as a foundation for academic achievement in the selected baccalaureate degree and for future professional advancement. Students may be accepted into the A.G.S. degree program (GSAS major) before completing 60 hours of coursework. All GSAS majors are advised as though they are exploratory students.<\/p>\n

The University awards the Associate of General Studies Degree to a student who, in addition to satisfying the University’s minimum requirements for graduation, meets the following requirements: No more than 2 semester hours of H&PE activity courses and no more than 6 hours of performance music courses may be applied toward the A.G.S. Degree.<\/p>\n
