General Studies

The Bachelor of General Studies is an interdepartmental program allowing students to select an area of concentration, not a departmental major, in one of several departments. A secondary area of concentration is also required. This degree is offered for students who have interest in several disciplines and find that the established traditional majors do not meet their needs.

Students in the General Studies degree program will have a primary area of concentration (minimum of 30 hours), a secondary area of concentration (minimum of 18 hours), and 27 hours of electives to be taken from any department. The primary and secondary areas of concentration must be from different departments.

The candidate for the Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies must complete all the general education requirements and institutional requirements as stated in the York College academic catalog.
