Bachelor of General Studies

The Bachelor of General Studies degree (BGS) is a four-year liberal arts degree offered through the College of Arts and Sciences at Fort Hays State University. The degree provides flexibility for students who have well-defined career objectives and wish to determine the content of their degree rather than follow a more course-specific degree. The program requires a student to select an area of concentration. Students may select a second area of concentration or use elective hours to reach the minimum needed to graduate and meet all degree requirements.

The Bachelor of General Studies degree can be used for entry into a wide variety of occupations. The BGS degree serves as a bridge to numerous graduate degree programs and prepares students for employment in areas not requiring specific baccalaureate degrees.

The Bachelor of General Studies degree at Fort Hays State University can be completed on-campus or on-line through the Virtual College. Students are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours from FHSU but are not required to come to campus.
