Program Description

If you want to complete a degree that specifically meets your academic or career goals, or if you want to apply credit and/or learning acquired in different settings toward a degree, then consider the UFV Bachelor of General Studies degree.

The Bachelor of General Studies provides a flexible degree structure for students who wish to create an individualized, cross-disciplinary program of studies that best suits their goals.

Some students who currently are enrolled in the program include:

• students who are diversifying to acquire a broad educational background;
• students who intend to become elementary school teachers;
• students whose educational or career interests have changed, or who changed institutions partway through their programs;
• students whose main interest lies in a subject area in which UFV does not offer a major;
• students who want to do a sizable portion of their courses online;
• students who have created a specialized thematic focus to their studies;
• students who are combining minors in a customized way.
