General Studies
Often referred to as an interdisciplinary degree, a
degree in general studies allows students to complete
the general requirements of their college while maintaining some flexibility to choose concentrations in a
variety of topics.
Registered Nurse
There are three paths to becoming a registered nurse:
an associate’s degree (2 years), a bachelor’s of science
in nursing (4 years), and a “second degree” program
for students who already hold their degree in another
field.

Business
Accounting, business management, finance, human resources and more are all popular fields. Entrepreneurship is an increasingly common goal as well, so if you’ve ever dreamed of
starting your own business, it makes sense to have a business
degree as a solid fo undation.
Biology
This degree can cover a broad variety of interests, from
careers in the medical field to those involved with preserving
the environment. Biology majors may also transition to the
lab to do research.

Not all psychology majors want to become psychologists;
other possible career paths include social work, human
resources, market research and careers in academia.
