I think the purpose of those types of degrees is so undecided students can complete their gen eds and maybe figure out what they enjoy studying in the process. I don’t think they’re very useful because those students probably need to get a bachelor’s degree more than the cc students who have a specific major. I think that’s actually the intent of general studies degrees. They’re for students who are definitely transferring to a university. But if OP is already enrolled in the courses that complete the AGS degree I’m not sure that he can stop the college from conferring the degree. If he changed his major to Nursing right away then maybe, but I don’t know if the college can/will allow a student who’s receiving federal funding to change their major after they’ve completed all the requirements so they can continue to receive need based aid for a 2nd degree.
