The Associate in General Studies is a degree that is customized to meet the unique needs of students whose objectives cannot be met through the college’s transfer or occupational degrees. This degree is designed to meet the students’ objectives such as obtaining a two year liberal education or meeting employment needs not offered through other programs. This will be the curriculum of record for students applying to, but not yet accepted into, competitive entry health careers programs. Because the curriculum for the General Studies degree is not part of the Illinois Articulation Initiative, transfer course credits completed within this degree are not guaranteed to be accepted by the senior institution. Students considering the General Studies degree should consult with an advisor to determine whether this degree will meet their educational goals and needs.

Requirements

Note: Students planning to transfer to a baccalaureate college or university should take IAI general education courses for all general education areas and electives.
