| Welcome to the web site for the Department of General
Studies at Louisiana State University in Shreveport.
The department is housed within the College of Liberal
Arts and offers a variety of opportunities, which are
intended to help advance individuals toward their professional
goals. Although the department shares a broad philosophy
with the other areas in the college, we do not offer
a Liberal Arts Degree; instead, we offer a Bachelor of
General Studies degree. The program is interdisciplinary
and allows students to select an area of concentration,
not a departmental major, in one of four broad subject-matter
groups: Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences,
and Applied Sciences. BGS students work with the director
to develop an individual program of study that meets
their personal needs and prepares them for the job market.
The Department has approximately 200 majors in the
program, and the program requirements help expose these
students to an array of disciplines that otherwise
may not be experienced by completing a traditional
major. The flexibility of the program is very attractive
to those who transfer a large number of credit hours
and those who work full time and wish to complete a
degree.
Continue to browse through the General Studies web
site to determine if this may be the degree for you.
