A general studies degree allows you to tailor a program to your interests, creating a degree that's as unique as you are.
This flexible program allows you to customize your own bachelor's degree with guidance from an academic advisor. The program is also highly compatible with your transfer credits, helping you reach your degree sooner.
This should not be confused with the LOPERs General Studies program, which is a required component in all undergraduate degree programs. For complete program information and curriculum, view the Undergraduate catalog.

"I was a former UNK student that had never finished my degree and was looking for an option to finish that goal I had set so many years ago. I am so thankful that UNK offers the online program and was able to guide me back into college life with such ease. My advisor was invested in my education and helping me find the path to reach my goals. The best part was the support I have received at UNK. "
