Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.)
The A.G.S. degree enables students to arrange a program of courses that meets their individual needs and interests. This degree generally provides more flexibility than other associate’s degrees. Half of this degree includes general education requirements (the same as those in the first half of the A.A. degree). The remaining courses depend upon the student, who can select from occupational/vocational courses, additional general education courses or electives that are offered outside the AFT program.
Students who previously completed college-level coursework frequently choose this degree because it allows for flexibility in the packaging of coursework from a variety of areas. Students sometimes find that the less stringent math requirement in the A.G.S. makes this degree more easily attainable.
Non-AFT students may now take selected AFT courses. Please call 630.942.FAST for information about this new opportunity.
