Transfer GENERAL STUDIES

The Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in General Studies is a flexible transfer degree that offers the student an opportunity to combine courses to meet specific career goals as well as lower level general education requirements at a four-year college or university. The program consists of 44 credits of general education with 18 additional hours that may be selected in consultation with an advisor or counselor to ensure they are appropriate to meet the student's transfer and educational goals.

 

This program is not meant to insure the same ease of transferability as the other transfer degrees, but through articulation agreements, students may use a limited number of courses from selected applied programs to transfer to corresponding professional programs at four-year colleges and universities.

Unless otherwise noted in the Guaranteed Admissions Agreement (GAA) for a specific college or university, TCC students enrolled in the General Studies degree program are currently ineligible to participate in the GAA program. Students can maximize the transferability of the General Studies degree by selecting courses from those listed under General Education Requirements on page 28 in the 2011-2012 catalog.

Courses required for the General Studies degree are available on all four campuses.
