The General Studies degree programs (BA, BS, A) offers flexibility as the student chooses one area of concentration for an associate’s degree program and two areas of concentration for a bachelor’s degree program. Then the student may pick and choose any courses from the concentration area(s). This is an excellent program to start with if you are undecided about a major. It provides an opportunity to explore courses and focus on general education courses that will count towards any major. It is also an excellent program for students looking to customize their degree to their own interests. Students can prepare themselves for a variety of careers and/or graduate school options.
