AAS degrees conform to statewide standards developed by the Technical College System of Georgia. These programs are terminal degree programs designed to prepare students for employment. The AAS degrees are organized into two sections: general core courses and occupational courses. All AAS degree programs require completion of a minimum of 15 semester credit hours of collegiate-level general education. Components of the general education core must include at least one course from each of the following four areas: Language Arts/Communications; Social/Behavioral Sciences; Natural Sciences/Mathematics; Humanities/Fine Arts.
