General Studies Transfer Degree

The General Studies degree program provides a flexible, yet academically sound framework for the student who is exploring career and academic opportunities; or for the student whose interests, aptitude, and career goals do not conform with other programs offered by the College.

In the first year, the student’s academic program consists of those courses which meet the College’s General Education Requirements, and elective courses which may be for career or academic exploration. This first year affords the student the opportunity to participate in the breadth of the academic offerings of the College.

At the end of the first year, or upon completion of 30 to 34 credits, the student and his/her academic adviser then develop an academic plan for a career or technical program

.

** All BCCC students must meet the College’s Computer Literacy requirements in order to receive a degree or a certificate. All first-time, full- and part-time degree and certificate seeking students are required to complete the PRE 100  course within the first six credits.
