Program Description
We would like to rename this program as Interdisciplinary Studies rather than General Studies. The description below is the current program description.
The Bachelor of Arts in General Studies degree is offered through Catawba Online.
Rather than focusing on one specific course of study, General Studies majors gain a breadth of knowledge across multiple disciplines and explore specific areas of personal interest to them. Students take an interdisciplinary approach across several areas of study including the Humanities, Fine Arts, Math, Natural Sciences, and Social/Behavioral Sciences, giving greater depth in more areas than in a traditional degree program.
In this self-directed major, students consult with faculty advisors to design a program that provides a personalized field of study while granting them a Bachelor’s degree upon program completion - a minimum qualification for most professional job-seekers these days.
