General Studies is a unique program that reflects diversity in learning and instruction. Students gain the opportunity to explore varied interests that extend beyond a particular major. This interdisciplinary approach to learning prepares students to succeed in a diversified workforce and equips students with the necessary skills—skills such as critical thinking, reading comprehension, communication, and problem-solving—to successfully engage in a productive work environment and to prepare for graduate and professional schools. The General Studies degree is good for maximizing prior earned credits towards the completion of a degree, while at the same time allowing the flexibility to explore new and/or diverse areas of interest. The General Studies degree at Grambling offers four concentrations: humanities and culture; gender, race, and intersectionality; juvenile behavioral studies; and gerontology. In addition to the traditional on-campus delivery, the Bachelor of General Studies program is also offered 100% online or hybrid.
Interdisciplinary degree programs prepare students for a wide variety of career choices. With a varied academic background, many students move toward careers in business or teaching where they can make the best use of their broad learning experience.
