Program Description
The Bachelor of Arts, Major in General Studies degree program provides students with the opportunity to develop a degree program that suits their unique interests, combining courses across different Arts disciplines. Working with an Arts Degree Advisor, they can create a personal program of study that helps them reach specific career and personal goals, intentionally developing a broad interdisciplinary liberal arts education. Completing this degree will normally involve a selection of courses from a number of departments that form around a unifying theme.
The program includes:
- Development of disciplinary knowledge, core competencies, and transferable skills characteristic of traditional Bachelor of Arts programs
- Preparation for entry into the labour market by incorporating essential and employability skills in all courses
- Increasing your capacity to respond innovatively to emerging trends in society
- Opportunities for forging connections within the South Fraser region by completing research, volunteering, or working in your field of interest while completing your KPU degree
