The General Studies Program is a flexible and academically structured program designed for those students whose academic objectives cannot be met by other programs offered by the College. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college are encouraged to seek appropriate advising to ensure course transferability, and may wish to consider the Associate of Arts Louisiana Transfer Degree or the Associate of Science Louisiana Transfer Degree .
The General Studies program provides opportunities for students to follow a pre-baccalaureate course of study in several academic areas. With an advisor, an educational plan is developed for the selected course of study. Students are encouraged to declare a major in General Studies prior to enrolling in the last fifteen (15) semester hours of coursework. The following requirements are needed to earn the Associate of General Studies degree:
- Twenty-five percent (25%) of coursework used to meet degree requirements must be taken at Delgado, with nine (9) of those semester hours in major area of concentration.
- Courses in major area of concentration must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.
- At least twelve (12) semester hours must be taken in courses numbered 200 or above.
