SHOW YOUR DC PRIDE WITH DC clothing Shop now What students are saying I had no idea what I wanted to do as a career, so the GASC program was perfect for me. I was nervous going into the program as it was my first time attending college, not to mention I never even finished high school. Thankfully though, it was even better than I expected! Peyton DeGuilio, GASC graduate The skills I developed in the General Arts and Science (GAS) program were integral to my success academically and professionally. I entered the Paramedic program confident in my academic abilities thanks to the mentorship and guidance I received from the faculty. I have since obtained full-time employment in my field thanks to the foundation I built through Durham College’s GAS program.
