Our bachelor’s degree in general studies program helps you start building that foundation. With so many new opportunities open to you, the direction of your future is entirely up to you.
A bachelor’s degree in general studies provides opportunities to develop valuable, lifelong skills in oral and written communication, critical thinking, problem solving, evaluation, analysis and synthesis. The program offers a curriculum to establish a core of knowledge, which can lead to many different careers or lay the groundwork for further studies and specialization.
The Bachelor of General Studies degree program is intended for students who have already earned substantial college credits prior to enrolling in the program.
The Baker College Bachelor of Science in General Studies degree is a 4-year program consisting of 120 credit hours (21 hours in two concentration areas and 45 elective credit requirements). Our curriculum includes college composition, cultural diversity and a senior capstone.
A minimum of nine semester credit hours of the 42 credit hours in the two concentrations must come from 3000 or 4000 level courses. A concentration is a group of courses that generally are from the same discipline, for example, a Psychology concentration or a Marketing concentration. Concentrations must be approved at the time of enrollment in this program.
