The three-year Bachelor of Arts concentration in General Studies offers students an open curriculum model that allows them to tailor their academic programme to their desired areas of study.
This model allows students to direct their study to areas of their interest as well as providing breadth with the required core courses. Although the department determines the requirements related to the number of hours required for graduation, students have flexibility in their course options. The programme thus offers students a breadth of knowledge in various disciplines and a wide selection of more advanced courses in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, including the opportunity to develop basic proficiency in a second language.
