Liberal Arts: Individual Studies
Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree

Students whose academic goals cannot be met through existing programs may be allowed to structure individualized degree programs. Qualified students develop, with an advisor, an "area of concentration." This area of concentration must be a cohesive program of study clearly related to employment or upper division academic goals.

Completion of the Individual Studies Program can lead to an Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree, depending upon the student's area of concentration. The AS degree program is designed for baccalaureate transfer, and the AAS degree for immediate employment. Admission into the program requires the student to develop a Plan of Studies which is approved by the program coordinator.

This is not a program for students unsure of their goals or simply exploring several areas of study.
