General Studies Emphasis

A student pursuing the B.L.A. in General Studies must select two (2) disciplines from the following course classifications: humanities (art, communications, philosophy, history, theatre, languages), mathematics and logic, natural sciences, or social sciences (anthropology, history, political sciences, psychology, sociology, including law science) with at least 12 credits in each. Eighteen of the 30 credits must be upper division.

Depending upon the discipline choices a student makes in their general studies degree, careers in business, government, social, health and human services, public relations, as well as dramatic and performing arts are options available. Upon graduation, highly motivated B.L.A. students may choose to pursue graduate school in a discipline that they emphasized in their under-graduate program or in the UAS MAT Elementary Education program. Students seeking admittance into the MAT Secondary will want to consult with the appropriate advisor as they complete their general studies degree to ensure acquiring the necessary content credits for admittance and for future credentialing.
