TTU Home Outreach & Distance Education Bachelor of General Studies

The Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.) is a unique program for students who wish to study multiple fields in equivalent depth. Instead of a major and minor, the student selects three concentration areas in consultation with the B.G.S. advisor. Together, the three concentration areas formulate a coherent specialization that is unavailable elsewhere in the university as an organized program of study. Each concentration consists of a minimum of 18 hours in the chosen area, for a total of 54 hours across the three areas. Through these self-selected concentration areas, forming an integrated specialization, the B.G.S. degree can prepare a student to pursue graduate or professional study, an intellectual interest, or a career goal.
