Bachelor of General Studies

A Bachelor of General Studies or a Bachelor in General Studies (BGS) is a highly interdisciplinary undergraduate academic degree offered by colleges and universities that "allows students to combine and explore multiple subjects."[1]

The concept of general studies derives from the medieval European university concept of studium generale. A BGS program allows students to design a degree plan with advisors while meeting their academic institution's general requirements. Students can typically choose from concentrations in a variety of areas.

Despite its name, Columbia University School of General Studies does not confer Bachelor of General Studies degrees but Bachelor of Arts degrees instead.[2]
