The general studies program is intended for students who are uncertain
of their career plans or desire two years of a broad, general college edu-
cation. This curriculum has been adapted to allow students to explore
several different subject areas. The General Studies – Business/Technology
Emphasis transfer program has been designed specifically for students
whose interests are more in the area of technology than in the liberal
arts. Those who plan their course sequences with faculty advisors may
prepare for either transfer or employment. Students are advised to check
the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer.
