University Studies: Social and Behavioral Sciences
The Associate Degree in University Studies with an Area of Emphasis is intended to accommodate the differing requirements of a wide variety of transfer institutions and major options. Because admission and major preparation requirements vary at each four-year transfer institution, courses used to complete this degree should be selected with the assistance of a counselor. The completion of the University Studies Degree does not guarantee acceptance into either a baccalaureate major or a four-year institution.
