Overview

The Department of General Studies offers the Bachelor of Multi-Disciplinary Studies and the Bachelor of University Studies.

History/Mission/Purpose

Both the Bachelor of Multi-Disciplinary Studies and the Bachelor of University Studies are cross-disciplinary degree programs offered to maximize opportunities for individuals to reach personal goals, meet job requirements, and advance their careers.

The B.M.D.S. degree was created in 2010 to meet the needs of undergraduates who wish to tailor their own degree program to meet their specific educational and career needs.

The B.U.S. degree was created in 2018 for former college students who accumulated over 90 degree-applicable credit hours but discontinued their studies for at least 2 consecutive years without completing a bachelor’s degree. This flexible degree program maximizes previous course credits earned from a student’s previous major(s). The program components were designed primarily for non-traditional students whose work and family responsibilities constrain their ability to complete the requirements of other undergraduate degree programs offered by the University.
