BusinessThe Associate of Applied Science in General Studies is designed for students who wish to study broadly across the curriculum or develop a program which is tailored to their own specific career goals. The program may combine both academic courses and technical courses. Most of the academic courses will be transferable to four-year institutions, including UNM Albuquerque and UNM Extended University's B.U.S. program. Students intending to seek a BA should consult an academic advisor
regarding the use of technical courses (those with a suffix 'T' ), however, since they may not transfer toUNM's and other fouryear degree programs.
