Use of Results Report

AS General Studies: 2007 - 2008

1. Please list the Program Outcomes which were met and briefly discuss these.

The curriculum for the A.S. in General Studies consists of the completion of the University System of Georgia Core Curriculum in Areas A-E, and an Area F requirement consisting of an additional 18 hours of lower division courses from the following groups:

  • Humanities, 3-9 hours
  • Mathematics or Science, 0-8 hours
  • Social Sciences, 3-9 hours
  • Other courses approved for Area C, D, or F, 0-9 hours.

Thus, the A.S. in General Studies is essentially a degree composed almost entirely of core courses.

Program outcomes for the A.S. in General Studies degree are therefore identical to those of the Core Curriculum.  Students listed as "General Studies" are usually undeclared students, with only a very small number ultimately earning the A.S. degree.  Evaluating core curriculum courses on the basis of these few students would give unrepresentative results.  Instead, whether the Program Outcomes of the A.S. in General Studies were met is determined by analyzing whether the Program Outcomes for the courses in the Core Curriculum were met. 

Program outcomes for General Studies courses that were met are available by clicking on the course(s) of interest in the "Use of Results by Course" column at this link.
