General Studies (Liberal Arts)

The Associate in Arts, General Studies, provides a basic liberal arts education with a curriculum including general education and general electives. It includes flexibility for students to meet requirements for transfer into a baccalaureate degree program and flexibility for career exploration.

To improve articulation and reduce excess credit hours, beginning with students initially entering a Florida College System institution in 2013-2014 and thereafter, each student who is seeking an Associate in Arts degree will indicate a baccalaureate degree program offered by an institution of interest by the time the student earns 30 semester hours. The institution in which the student is enrolled shall inform the student of the prerequisites for the baccalaureate degree program offered by an institution of interest.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact your assigned advisor for assistance in planning your program of study.
