Trust me if I could post screenshots, I would.
The AGS is for students who don’t know what they want to pursue, they can just finish it up and come back next year or when they feel ready what they want to pursue another higher degree at CC.
All the classmates I had in my course want to pursue an AAS nursing once they finish up their gens and eds for the AGS degree. All of them got accepted into the AAS and got covered by Pell grants.
Once I start working, most of the tax money will go into educational funds probably and will help out another student in need who will successfully complete their gens and eds. That’s the best part about taxes
Another advisor had told me when I was on campus 'You don’t need a BS degree or another CC, you can sit back and relax most students don’t right away jump into a BS until they figure everything out or if they want an AAS.
I know RDH is just one profession and you can’t climb the ladder, with a nursing degree you can climb many opportunities.
I see in the class schedule they added the icon ‘IAI’ this counts for certain courses like Speech 101, Basic Chemistry 1, Calc 1 also counts but Pre-Calc does not count as an IAI mostly remedial.
What do you expect an advisor would put a student into higher degrees until they are rest assured the student can handle this academic lifestyle. There are many students who went into the AS in Physics and got burned out easily since they were not up to date with being academically skilled.
A student who has been out of school for a long time got my GED in 2017 and started my first year at CC in Fall 2019. I’m glad I got put in this degree to get a feel of college life and the course work, now that I’m at Calculus 1 level, I can critically think correctly since my skills got rusty. I asked them I wanted something to brush up my rusty academic skills.
I have spoken to my financial aid department, they checked and said we can cover those courses as long as it meets ‘degree requirements’ if I chose pottery course that would not meet the merits and would pay out of pocket.
