General Studies

Associate Degree  |  Ozark Campus  |  In-Person or Blended

The Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree provides students the flexibility to create a customized program of study designed to fulfill a unique career goal which is not available through any single Technical Certificate or Associate of Applied Science degree currently offered at Arkansas Tech University-Ozark Campus.

Students may utilize multiple disciplinary training options in a variety of technical fields. Certificate programs currently without a degree option and students who are taking industry-requested specialized courses tailored to employer needs may utilize this pathway to a degree. Because this degree focus is broad, students are able to remain engaged in their coursework, which often leads them to continue to pursue the higher degree of their choice.
