  GENERAL STUDIES
 
OVERVIEW

The General Studies program serves students in two ways: it is elected by many entering students who wish to examine a number of possible academic options before selecting a major in a traditional discipline; and it is elected by students who wish to graduate with the BGS degree, having developed a coherent program of study with the aid of their advisor. Students who have declared a major in General Studies, whether to explore academic options or graduate in this curriculum, are strongly encouraged to utilize programs and services offered by the Office of Career Services and the Student Counseling Center to assist them in identifying possible career paths and in understanding how their interests may impact on their choice of a degree program at the UI. Students in the General Studies program may transfer to any degree program at any time if they satisfy the grade-point average and curricular requirements of those programs.

Freshmen and sophomore students in General Studies are advised by staff in the Academic Advising Center located in the Teaching & Learning Center (TLC) Room 231. Appointments can be made by calling 885-9831.
