Bachelor
of General Studies Degree WHAT
IS GENERAL STUDIES? While each BGS major must meet the same general requirements and grade point expectations, the degree plan is somewhat individualized and flexible, taking into account a student's interests, needs, and goals. The Bachelor of General Studies degree requires a minimum of 123 semester hours. Students should earn at least 60 hours of credit and should be in good academic standing (2.0 or higher cumulative GPA) before transferring to the program. Students who are undecided about their major might benefit from the services of Louisiana Tech University's Career Center in Keeny Hall. Students who have not reached junior standing and who are undecided about their plans should be enrolled in Basic and Career Studies, not in General Studies. The Coordinator of General Studies can provide specific details, but an overview of the degree requirements follows. Please click the links for more information about the General Education Requirements, the Interdisciplinary Thematic Concentration, the Enrichment Blocks, and the Additional Requirements: GENERAL
EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR MORE INFORMATION To find the plan that fits your needs, bring or send an unofficial transcript to to the program coordinator. This transcript evaluation is not an immediate process, so please submit your transcript well in advance of when you need to be advised. If you are planning to use transfer hours, you are responsible for bringing course descriptions from the transfer university. The program coordinator appreciates at least two weeks' advance notice of a transcript evaluation. Because the advising period near the end of the quarter is extraordinarily busy, students who wait until that time to seek a transcript evaluation and a major change may not be able to be accommodated until General Registration of the next quarter. Therefore, please contact the coordinator in adequate time. Students preparing for a master's program are encouraged to contact the graduate school they wish to attend to ensure that appropriate foundation work is included, where possible, in the plan of study leading to the BGS degree. The preceding information is applicable to the General Studies program at the main Tech campus. Contact the Director of the Tech Barksdale program if you are interested in pursuing a Bachelor of General Studies degree on that campus, as slight differences exist in the programs from campus to campus.
