The BGS and ICP are thematically based options. They allow a student to orchestrate an undergraduate program which is based on an underlying theme, as compared to an established concentration which is methodologically based.
The BGS/ICP advisor assists the student in the articulation of the theme and the determination of appropriate coursework to realize that theme. By definition, the theme of such a program is/must be interdisciplinary.
What is the Bachelor in General Studies degree?
The Bachelor in General Studies is an interdisciplinary degree which allows a student to combine subject areas and skills in a way that focuses intellectual development through a lens of interdisciplinarity.
Challenges and Risks of Pursuing a BGS
Students considering an BGS need to be aware of its special demands and risks. They face the challenges of interdisciplinary work and must therefore grapple with the conceptual processes of disparate disciplines.
