Bachelor of General Studies

Program Mission

The Bachelor of General Studies degree program permits students to design a course of study that suits their individual educational goals. It empowers students to have more control over the college academic experience, and, because of the broad-based curriculum, allows them to exercise creativity and innovation as they plan for their own careers.

This degree program is intended, primarily, for those students who have accumulated a considerable amount of credit hours but have not decided on a particular major field. The flexibility the program offers will help these students to obtain a baccalaureate degree without a considerable loss of time and academic credit.

The traditional "major" is replaced with a "general studies concentration" that involves four of seven different possible areas of study. The primary focus of the degree is to provide a strong liberal arts background.
