General Studies is designed for students who are not ready to apply to a specific area, are exploring various options, are combining coursework to keep their options open, or find that a program doesn’t exist which accommodates all their needs. Credits completed while in General Studies may be applied to program areas at a later date, assuming the coursework was appropriate. General Studies can be as simple or as complicated as the intended goals.
