This program is designed specifically to meet the needs of working professionals or others whose personal commitments or geographic location complicates the pursuit of a degree. Students enter our program from diverse backgrounds - some have never attended college, while others transfer credits to us to count toward their degree. The Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.) degree is offered by the College of Arts and Sciences through the College of Outreach & Distance Education. The curriculum consists of the typical liberal arts education as based on Bachelor of Arts general-degree requirements, and can prepare you to pursue an intellectual interest, a career goal, or graduate and professional study. The B.G.S. degree features three core areas of concentration in lieu of a major and minor, each of which meets the minimum requirements of an existing departmental or interdisciplinary minor (e.g., English, psychology, etc.). Each concentration area consists of a minimum of 18 hours in the chosen discipline for a total of 54 hours across the three areas.

Classes are delivered using one or a combination of formats including web-based and print-based instruction. This program is also available through the Division of Off-Campus Sites (DOCS) at TTU at Fredericksburg, TTU at Highland Lakes, and TTU Center at Junction.
