Germanna Community College
The General Studies Associate of Arts & Sciences Degree program is intended for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university. For students who are uncertain about their educational goals, this curriculum offers sufficient flexibility so that students may take courses that are accepted at most public four-year institutions in a wide variety of baccalaureate degree programs. It also provides greater opportunity than that offered in other college-transfer programs for the student to take courses that emphasize areas of academic strength and interest. Students are urged to acquaint themselves with the requirements of the major department in planning their programs.
Program Credit Requirements
The table below provides the requirements to complete this program. If you have an account and have created a Portfolio,
the table includes the "Applied Credits" column. This column shows how the credits you earned based on the experiences
