DEGREE CONCENTRATIONS
St. Louis Community College is a good place to begin a college program in a traditional academic area. It offers the basic curriculum
core that is the foundation for majoring in any subject the student may ultimately choose. Completing the General Transfer Studies
concentration will prepare a student with the essential first two years of a Baccalaureate degree while retaining flexibility that will
accommodate selecting a major field later or changing to a different one from what the student is interested in now.
Students who have definite ideas about their academic interests may find a specific associate in arts concentration that will fit them.
Undecided students or students who wish to keep their academic programs more adaptable should choose the General Transfer
Studies concentration. The college offers the following concentrations: Business Administration, Communications Arts, Life Sciences,
Mathematics, General Transfer (including International Studies option) and Music.
