Associate in General Studies, AGS

The Associate in General Studies (AGS) grants academic recognition for the completion of 90 applicable college-level credits and provides flexibility for students to select courses which best fit their interests or emphasize a particular area of study. The non-transfer degree does not preclude the selection of transfer classes and subsequent transfer to a four-year college or university. However, students should be aware that their transcripts will be subjected to a course by course analysis by the receiving institution to determine transferability. This degree is not a direct transfer associate degree (DTA). Students with a previous associate degree are not eligible for the AGS. Students may not receive the AGS in the same quarter as another associate degree.

Non-course requirements:

• 15 credits at the 200 level or higher
• Cumulative college level OC grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
• A maximum of 30 credits of Pass/No Credit graded courses will be accepted instead of the standard numerical grade. A minimum of 20 quarter-credits must have been earned at OC, including the last 10 credits, except that if 85 or more credits have been earned at OC, the graduation requirements may be completed at another regionally accredited institution.
