Degrees
Bachelor of Arts/Science in General Studies (BGS)
The General Studies major provides maximum flexibility for the student who wishes to embrace a broad educational program of study while maintaining a focus on personal, career or professional goals.
This degree is a customized program in which the student, in collaboration with and under the guidance of experts in the field of interest, undertakes the responsibility for the design of an undergraduate degree with an emphasis in a selected area of study that reflects their particular personal and professional interests. The program is intended for independent-minded, self-directed adult learners who have, at minimum, earned a minimum of 90 college credits from a regionally accredited college or university.
Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS)
The BIS major requires students integrate two or more specific disciplines into a customized program of study, which is then linked together by a common core of classes designed to help students synthesize and communicate the relevance of the integration. Specific numbers of credits are prescribed in each of the disciplines used for the program of study and course substitution is not allowed within the common core. The BIS degree has a program administrator who approves proposed programs of study.
