Our General Studies, A.A. program offers the academic flexibility other programs, in general, do not. For instance, students can take a variety of different courses in anything from art to history to mathematics to sciences. They might find themselves firing pottery in a kiln or performing experiments in a science lab on any given day. It’s a real benefit for first-time students who may not know exactly what they want to major yet in that it allows them the ability to explore their interests in a multitude of disciplines.
