Online General Studies Degree Programs

A general studies, or interdisciplinary studies, degree is perfect for students who want a broad, classic education, typically without a major, or concentration of study. General studies degrees include a balanced curriculum, with coursework in the humanities (such as English and comparative literature), social sciences (such as psychology, history and sociology), natural sciences (such as biology, chemistry and physics), and mathematics. For a person seeking a well-rounded education, a general (interdisciplinary) studies degree might be the right solution.

Some programs allow a degree of flexibility within their program, allowing a student to choose the course of his or her degree program, but without the declaration of a major. The competencies developed in a classical education, including critical thinking, analysis, written and oral communication, and technical skills, are those in demand in the working world today.

Many online programs, mindful of the fact that adult students have to juggle career and family obligations along with their studies, offer flexible programs that can accelerate or space out courses, depending on the individual student's needs. It's best to speak with a school program officer to see what options exist.

"I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today
and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive."
