Integrated Studies offers a wide variety of personalized degree options to students. They may individually tailor their programs to combine a substantial core of courses basic to a traditional university education and study in career-related areas. Within the flexible framework of degree requirements, students may design an undergraduate program that can more readily meet their career and personal-development goals. Students will be encouraged and assisted in developing a unique academic program complementing their individual interests, abilities, and intellectual and practical concerns.

The Integrated Studies degree program offers two different bachelor’s degrees, the Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.) and the Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.).  Courses are available to students on-campus, days, evenings, and weekends, and online.  Students may attend part-time or full-time. General Studies serves as the home for the Exploring Integrated Studies program.
