Bachelor of General Studies

The Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree at Saginaw Valley State University is designed for students seeking flexibility in completing a bachelor's degree that aligns with their unique academic or career aspirations. This program is ideal for individuals whose needs do not fit within the structure of a traditional baccalaureate degree.

Key features of the BGS program include:

  • Customized Pathway: Students have the ability to design their own course of study, selecting courses across multiple disciplines that fit their goals.
  • Degree Completion Focus: The BGS degree is particularly suited for those looking to complete their degree after previously earning credits, or for those with diverse interests that do not align with a single academic program.
  • Diverse Career Applications: Graduates from the BGS program can apply their degree to a wide range of careers, from business and management to communications, social services, and beyond.

Students work closely with an academic advisor to create a personalized plan that meets all university degree requirements, while also satisfying their personal and professional objectives.
