    Bachelor of Arts in General Studies

    The Bachelor of Arts in General Studies (BAGEN) is an interdisciplinary programme of study that is designed for students who desire a non-traditional approach to learning in at least two academic disciplines. It allows these students to prepare for careers that require functional knowledge of multiple academic disciplines. It also allows students to create interdisciplinary specialties that prepare them for careers in a world that increasingly bridges academic disciplines.  With this programme of study students pursue at least two subject-area concentrations that represent the academic disciplines they wish to integrate into a meaningful academic experience.

    • Those needing to complete an undergraduate academic degree when an initial major does not fit as well as planned.
