Arts and Sciences Multidisciplinary Studies, B.G.S. – Online +

About the Online + Arts and Sciences Multidisciplinary Studies, B.G.S.

The Bachelor of General Studies in Arts and Sciences Multidisciplinary Studies is a challenging and rewarding option for students who wish for a greater degree of flexibility in their course of study than that of a traditional degree program. As an interdisciplinary degree, it is not based on a specific major or minor. Instead, the student’s curriculum will consist of courses from three concentration areas. Any academic minor recognized at TTU may be used as a concentration area, and the concentration area will follow the curricula of that academic minor. Further, two of the three areas must be within the College of Arts & Sciences. To view all available academic minors offered by TTU, please refer to the Academic Programs (A-Z)  section of this catalog. Thus, a well-designed Bachelor of General Studies degree in Arts and Sciences Multidisciplinary Studies can help a student prepare to pursue a particular intellectual interest, a professional ambition, or graduate study.
