Associate of General Studies
The Associate of General Studies degree enables students to combine a broad core of basic courses with a program that can be tailored to their personal, academic, or professional goals. This degree may enhance current employment and/or fulfill the requirements for a specific college or university program. Intended as a flexible degree for students who are not pursing a specified curriculum in the transfer or professional-technical area, the degree may also be appropriate for students who are undecided about future educational or career goals. Many General Studies graduates continue their studies at a college or
university in such diverse fields as literature, fine and performing arts, education, religion, human services, philosophy, political and social sciences, and sports.

Transfer Advising
The advisors in Student Services will coordinate your transfer plans with the latest information from your target transfer institution. Glen Oaks advisors have access to joint-transfer agreements with various colleges and institutions. The advisors work closely with colleges, receive program information, communicate on a regular basis and attend workshops and seminars at the institutions. It is also wise to discuss these plans with your transfer school.
Current High School Students
To prepare for your first semester of college courses, the college recommends that you complete college preparatory classes provided at many schools. Check with your high school counselor for high school graduation requirements and possible articulation agreements. Courses might include English, mathematics, general science or lab science, basic keyboarding, introduction to computers, history, physical education, foreign language, psychology, sociology and/or geography.
