General Studies Program
Welcome to the General Studies website!
General Studies is an interdisciplinary program which allows you, the student, to be in control of designing your educational program. The degree, a Bachelor of General Studies, is comprised of three academic Areas of Emphasis (18sh, 15sh and 12sh, respectively). You may choose from any discipline offered as a major or minor at VSU, with the exception of Education, Nursing, Interior Design, and Communication Arts. Within each Area of Emphasis, you may use a maximum of one lower level course (1000-2000); the remaining courses must be upper level (3000-4000) and all must have a grade of "C" or better.
There are two Tracks for General Studies:
- Track 1 is open to students who are active-duty military or who have been out of school for at least two years.
- Track 2 is open to all students with a minimum gpa of 2.5 and who have at least 30sh remaining to complete the degree.
