A Bachelor of General Studies is a high-quality flexible education that prepares you to advance your career or pursue graduate school. This online program provides a focused set of courses in a variety of subjects. These courses are intended to develop critical thinking, soft skills, communication abilities, and insight into many different fields.

The material covered in the online version of a course is the same as a traditional on-campus class. Although there may be different ways the material is studied or covered, you will learn the same core information and techniques. For a heavily discounted rate you will receive the same high standard of education as all other SUU students.

All of our programs offer quality education at affordable prices. However, this General Studies program offers shorter, more flexible classes at a heavily reduced tuition rate.
