(AGS) Degree

Description
|
|||
|
|
The Maricopa County Community College District Associate
in General Education (AGS) degree is recommended for students whose
educational goals require flexibility.
The AGS allows students to choose any elective courses numbered 100 or
above to complete the degree.
Therefore, this degree may be less appropriate for students who intend
to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting institution. |

|
|||
|
|
Students who demonstrate skills comparable to those in
Critical Reading and/or Mathematics and/or Computer Usage may substitute
acceptable elective courses to satisfy the total credits required for the
degree. |
