What can the AGS do for you?

With the AGS, you can turn past college credit and/or work experiences into a degree that prepares you for new career opportunities.
Earning your associate degree may be needed to meet an employment requirement, which makes the AGS degree a great accomplishment to share on your resume in future job searches or with your current employer.
The AGS can expand your earning opportunities. On average, associate degree holders make over $40,000 more in 5 years than those with a high school diploma.
Heartland’s AGS program offers affordability, convenient in-person and online classes, and the flexibility you need to finish your degree quickly, even when your path may change. You may also be eligible for financial aid and scholarships to help along the way.
