This paper concerns a control system governed by a semilinear degenerate equation involving a fully nonlinear gradient term. The equation may be weakly degenerate and strongly degenerate on a portion of the lateral boundary, and the gradient term can be controlled by the diffusion term. The linearized system is shown to be approximately controllable by constructing a control by means of its conjugate problem. By doing a series of precise compactness estimates, we prove that the semilinear system is approximately controllable.
