General Studies, Humanities (BA)- AU

The general studies program requires a minimum of 124 semester hours. This total includes all general education requirements, degree, and graduation requirements, with a minimum of 40 semester hours within a major. The General Studies degree offers a flexible study program that is particularly advantageous to students who already may have earned considerable credits and would like to organize these credits so they may earn a baccalaureate degree.

At least three areas of study must be chosen from the following list. Each area selected must provide 9 semester hours (30 credit hours total). At least one upper division course is required from each of the six areas:

1. Art and Music
2. Literature
3. History, Anthropology, Cultural Geography
4. Foreign Language (or courses in non-English cultures)
5. Human Belief Systems
6. Philosophy (Critical Thinking, Symbolic Logic, Debate, Persuasion, Linguistics)

Half of all credits in the major must be upper division level. No major courses may be counted for General Education requirements. Introduction to Philosophy is a required course.

Andrews University offers this degree. Services for this degree are provided by Griggs University through the Griggs Consortium. Griggs University is owned and operated by Andrews University.

Delivery Method: Open enrollment; no main campus requirements; mostly paper-based correspondence courses, a few online correspondence courses.
