GENERAL STUDIES
This two-year program is available to all
students, but primarily those who find the
specialized curricula of the College are not
what they want. General Studies offers an
alternative to students who wish to retain
their business and accounting credits,
achieve an associate degree, and eventually
possibly transfer to a liberal arts college.
