ASSOCIATE IN GENERAL STUDIES
(For Students entering prior Fall 2004)
The Associate in General Studies degree
is a flexible program designed to help you reach your
educational or occupational goals. As a transfer program,
it allows you to explore various educational fields
before deciding upon a major. Students who plan to
transfer to another institution should discuss their
plans with a BRCC advisor and with an advisor at the
receiving institution to assure transferability of
credit.
This
degree allows you to design your curriculum with specific
career and occupational goals in mind. In pursuing
the General Studies program, you will have access
to a strong, yet flexible academic base. Enrichment
blocks and concentration components enable you to
choose coursework that focuses on individual interests.
