THE BACHELOR OF GENERAL STUDIES (BGS) PROGRAM Robert J. Arway, Director Description— The BGS Degree Program-will serve the needs of (1) the student who wants to individualize a unique academic program; (2) the student who wants to obtain a broad general education; (3) the student who wants to diversify professional potential. Education— To qualify for the degree, the student must fill the graduation and BGS Degree requirements as listed below. Employment— The BGS Degree allows the student to pursue unique professional goals. Indeed, a student under this program may prepare or retrain for more than one professional career. Entrance Limitations— The Bachelor of General Studies degree option will be available to students in good standing in the college. Entrance into the program will ordinarily be permitted at any time following the student's first quarter as a college student. It is expected that the student, rather than seeking this option because of indecision or an inability to succeed in an established major, will have purposeful and mature objectives. It is expected that these students will have a mature understanding of themselves and will know with some precision which life goals they will meet through a self- designed program. A student seeking admission to the Bachelor of General Studies degree program should apply to the Director of General Studies. Official forms of application are available from the BGS office. A Word of Advice— The student is strongly advised that before applying for admission to the Bachelor of General Studies program the more traditional options should be considered. The Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science are still the bedrock degrees of the academic world. The student will however find that an intelligent use of the Bachelor of General Studies program provides in some cases a rewarding alternative. 64 Graduation Requirements for the Bachelor of General Studies Degree I.
