ASSOCIATE OF GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE The AGS degree is an option designed for students who do not plan to transfer or who may be planning to attend an outof-state university and want more flexibility in selecting courses. Choosing the AGS and fulfilling Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) requirements will maintain an open door for attending an Arizona public university at a later time. The AGS degree is designed to be a general studies degree with no area of emphasis. Students planning to attend an out-of-state university should work closely with an academic advisor in choosing their coursework. Whenever possible, working with the catalog of the out-of-state university provides the best transfer planning tool for students. Currently, three AGS degree programs contain unique general education requirements and state an area of emphasis. Cochise College has the following associate of general studies degrees.
