Explore new fields, test perspectives, and gain practical experience in interest areas.
The Associate of Arts in General Studies degree, offered both on campus and through LC Online, provides a foundation of critical, creative, and reflective thinking that emphasizes the ability to communicate effectively within a variety of groups and contexts and focuses on self-insight and self-advocacy. This program is intended for those who are college capable but unsure of their precise interest.
The A.A. in General Studies includes the completion of the Landmark College general education program, plus elective choices focused on an area of interest. Each student will choose an area of concentration to explore potential interests. An internship in this area of interest is strongly recommended.
The program culminates with the production of a portfolio that represents the student's work and learning to date and an essay that helps them to define their career and/or college aspirations. These assessments will help students navigate their next steps toward employment or further education.
