General Studies
Award: Associate of Science Degree
Major: General Studies
The Associate of Science in General Studies is intended for students who have acquired credits from several different transfer degrees and/or from multiple colleges and universities. In cases where credits earned will not apply to an existing A.S. or A.A. degree, students will work with their transfer institution, BRCC academic advisor, and/or employer to determine if the General Studies A.S. is appropriate for the student. If students have course credit from a Career/Technical program, they must work with their intended transfer institution and an academic advisor to determine the applicability of credits to the General Studies program.
This degree additionally benefits those students who are transferring into a college/university or major where the transfer institution's recommendations for said major do not align with any existing A.S. or A.A. degree. Students will work with their transfer institution and BRCC academic advisor to determine if the Associate of Science in General Studies degree is appropriate for the student. Students must work with a BRCC academic advisor to be placed into this program.
