The Bachelor of Science in General Studies degree has been designed specifically to meet the needs of adults pursuing a high quality bachelor's degree program and seeking maximum flexibility and breadth in their studies. A liberal number of free electives are permitted within the BSGS program, where students can accommodate all or most of their previous college studies. The BSGS enables adults to create their own individualized, interdisciplinary degree, with the on-going help of an academic advisor and faculty mentors. 

The Business Studies concentration provides breadth in all areas of business; management, marketing, accounting, information systems, ecomomics, and finance. The courses are designed with an emphasis on real-world practice combined with academic theory.  Foundation courses focus on the concepts and applications of accounting, quantitative methods, and management of information systems that develop basic skills for analysis, decision, and communication.  Higher level courses focus on the concepts, processes and institutions for financing and managing the organization, producing and marketing goods and services, and effective leadership styles in a changing business and technological environment.
