Diplôme d'études universitaires générales

The Diplôme d'études universitaires générales (French for General Academic Studies Degree), abbreviated DEUG, was a French undergraduate degree that required two years of studies, roughly equivalent to an associate degree in the American educational system. With thorough and proper matriculation, AA (Associate of Arts) or AS (Associate of Science) degrees can be equivalent to the first two years of study at an American university.

It was delivered between 1973 and the LMD reform (implemented between 2003 and 2006 depending on the university) by universities one year before the three-year license degree, roughly equivalent to a bachelor's degree in the American educational system.
