Institution: College of Southern Maryland

Program Description:

This program serves part-time and full-time students who have a variety of short- and long-term goals:

those who plan to terminate their college education with a two-year degree and who wish, therefore, a flexible course of study suitable to their unique occupational or personal needs;
those whose career plans are undecided and who wish to sample courses from several disciplines in preparation for making career decisions;
those who wish to broaden the base of their general knowledge in the range of disciplines traditional to college-level liberal arts education.

Students are asked to confront significant and complex scientific, historical, cultural, philosophical ideas; manipulate information; reason analytically; and demonstrate in writing or orally a mastery of the fundamental ways in which reality is perceived in the disciplines of arts, sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Transfer institutions expect general studies students to build on these competencies in upper-level major courses. Employers find these competencies compatible with business and industry needs.

Delivery format: Web & Telecourse

Additional Information:

The maximum number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions to this program is 45.
