The AAS-AGS is a 60-credit degree for students who wish to broaden
their knowledge, but who have no specific university major or
vocational goal in mind.
A general studies AAS is for students who wish to pursue a uniquely
designed program focusing on General Education and exploration of
academic fields or career focus. Courses may be chosen from a
variety of subject areas to fit into a program of study arranged by
the student and a faculty advisor or counselor. An Associate of
General Studies degree will be granted when at least 60 credit hours
of study at the 100 level or higher are completed, given the
fulfillment of the college reading requirement and the fulfillment
of the College’s general education and Himdag requirements.
This degree may be used to prepare for entering a four-year
university or to prepare for direct employment. Students pursuing an
AAS-AGS degree should meet with their TOCC advisors every semester.
The 60-credit AAS-AGS, like other AAS degrees, is not supported by
statewide articulation agreements. The 36-credit
AGEC-A
certificate, however, does guarantee admission to Arizona public
universities. For this reason, TOCC students are strongly
recommended to complete an AGEC-A as early as possible while
pursuing the AAS-AGS. A student may transfer upon completion of the
AGEC-A or continue to pursue the AAS-AGS.
Here are other important points about the Associate of Applied
Science Degree in General Studies.
- Complete
Pre-Program Requirements before beginning an AAS-AGS.
- New classes may meet program requirements. Check the TOCC
website for updates.
- Note: In order to meet Associate of Applied Science program
requirements, a grade of C (2.0) or higher is required for each
class.
- The AAS-AGS is not a transfer degree. Students seeking to
transfer should complete the AGEC-A or AGEC-B certificate first
as they work towards the AAS-AGS.
- Notes on scheduling (in parentheses in the checklist tables)
show when courses are offered.
