Bachelor of Science [B.S] General Studies

  • In the BS in General Studies program, students work with an academic advisor to design an academic program tailored to their specific needs and goals.
  • For example, one might combine a Business Studies concentration that focuses on Marketing and Management with a minor in Mass Communications, or combine a Social Sciences concentration that focuses on Psychology and Sociology with a Human Services minor.
  • The Natural Sciences and Mathematics concentration is frequently used to fulfill the science prerequisites for graduate study in the health professions, leaving a student room to explore the undergraduate curriculum in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Human Services.
  • The B.S. in General Studies is an excellent option for transfer students since it allows the maximum number of free electives permitted by the university.
  • Program graduates have attended business, law, and medical school. Many have gone on to careers in education, human services, and community service. 
  • This program is offered at our main Bridgeport campus, as well as the Waterbury Center location.
