Interdepartmental Studies General Information
The Interdepartmental Studies unit provides course work to enhance the abilities and skills of students to engage successfully in the work needed to complete the requirements of their chosen field of study. Courses include a non-college-credit developmental class in math and college level courses to enhance study skills and career planning.
The Associate of Arts in General Studies is a two-year program designed for students who want a terminal two-year degree without a major concentration or students who begin in a major area of study and then choose to end their college program after two years of study.
Students interested in these courses or the AA degree may contact the Director of Academic Services in the Center for Student Development.
