Associate of Arts in General Studies
Earning the Associate of Arts in General Studies (AAGS) may help you advance in your professional or military career, receive certification, expand your employment options, take the first step toward advanced studies, and build your confidence. Once you have completed your AAGS, you may decide to complete the Bachelor of General Studies (BGS).
Bachelor of General Studies
Completing the BGS gives you basic preparation for many careers and graduate programs. BGS graduates work in various professional fields, including education, law, government, health care, real estate, social service, and private industry. Many BGS students have gone on to graduate programs such as anthropology, business, divinity studies, education, fine arts, international affairs, law, library science, management, nursing, public health, and social work. BGS graduates have earned master's degrees and doctorates at Indiana University and other universities.
