What was once the Arts and Sciences (AA&S) degree in General Studies has been replaced by an Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Liberal Arts, an Associate of Science (AS) degree in Business Administration, and an Associate of Science (AS) degree in General Studies. The Liberal Arts degree includes a specialization in Theatre Arts; the General Studies degree includes specializations in Psychology and Teacher Education. The College also plans to add an Associate of Science (AS) degree in Information Systems, beginning in Fall 2010.

Students currently in the Associate of Arts and Sciences (AA&S) degree program will have until the end of the Spring 2011 semester to complete their AA&S degrees. Students who do not complete their AA&S degree requirements by this time will be required to change to the AS degree in General Studies or another transfer program.
