The BGS Degree: Designed with You in Mind

The Bachelor of General Studies program is an interdisciplinary degree program that encourages you to design your own course of study based upon personal preference and career goals.

The curriculum encourages free and creative thought, critical analysis, and exposes you to a variety of social and scientific issues which are the basis for a well-rounded education. The knowledge you gain through a firm grounding in the liberal arts prepares you for many different highly competitive job fields, and more importantly will teach you skills applicable in almost every area of your life.
