General Studies

A Bachelor of Science degree in General Studies allows students to earn a degree enhancing their communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The Bachelor of Science in General Studies provides an opportunity for students who are interested in completing a degree, but have found that one single academic major does not fulfill their interests. In addition, the General Studies major also leads to other opportunities that require a college degree.
