Aims Degree Video - General Education

Take a walk with Aims Arts and Sciences Division Dean Scott Reichel and discover the benefits of following an associate degree to bachelor's pathway.

The professors at Aims are just unmatched. I have never had a bad professor. Every semester I'm like, "I have a new favorite professor because they're all good." And just the fact that it's small class sizes so I can really interact with them and really ask them questions to understand the material they're teaching. And they all care about what they're doing, so I think that was the biggest thing that helped me succeed.
