The General Studies degree program is for adult learners lacking a defined major area of study wishing to complete a baccalaureate degree. It allows a student who has completed credits that don’t fit neatly into another degree path to complete a baccalaureate degree in a timely manner.
The Bachelor of General Studies can only be declared as a first baccalaureate degree.

- Students may transfer in and count up to 90 earned credit hours from a 2-year institution toward the 124 credit hours required for graduation. Courses meeting the requirements may apply to general education or major requirements.
