Associate of General Studies Degree

The Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree is intended to give individual students flexibility in using a variety of college-level courses (generally 100-level or above), academic or collegiate-level professional technical courses to meet the college-level associate degree requirements.

The AGS is tailored to the student’s needs and interests while maintaining high general education standards. Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution within Oregon should complete the AA/OT degree, which is articulated statewide (30 of the last 45 credits must be completed at Southwestern).
