General Studies

Credit Hours: 62
Overview

Arkansas State University offers the Associate in General Studies degree through University
College. This program is supported by an intensive academic advising and counseling program. The fundamental purpose of the program is to enable students at Arkansas State University to assume the responsibility for developing a personalized program of studies to meet particular career goals and/or individual needs. The flexibility of the program permits the completion of the general education curriculum and combinations of interdepartmental and intercollege selection of elective courses that may be desired by students, but would otherwise be difficult, or impossible, to obtain in other existing undergraduate degree programs.

Students seeking entrance into the Associate in General Studies program must satisfy university admission standards identical to those required of applicants for four-year university programs. Students may transfer from the Associate in General Studies program to other degree programs, and may well do so if they change career objectives and/or goals.

An Associate in General Studies degree may be conferred upon students who satisfactorily
complete the appropriate curriculum and meet the specific requirements for the degree. Students pursuing the Associate in General Studies degree are responsible for complying with the general academic regulations of the university as well as all other university policies and requirements.

A 2.0 cumulative grade point average is required on all course work. A student must earn at least twelve semester hours of credit after enrolling in the Associate in General Studies degree program in order to be qualified and eligible to receive the degree.

Overview

The BIS program is intended to deliver training that provides foundation working
knowledge in information technology. The resulting certificate is independent of any degree program and can be used either to enhance whatever degree is being pursued by the student or to demonstrate IT accomplishments of the non-degree-seeking student. For the latter, the BIS certificate incorporates a basic communications component, a Business foundation component, and a strong basic IT component
