Bachelor of General Studies - Business

Brigham Young University’s Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) program offers former BYU students who have been away from the university for some time and are not able to return to BYU an opportunity to finish at home what they started at BYU. Applicants must have already completed at least 30 credit hours at the BYU campus in Provo as admitted day students. They must abide by the BYU Honor Code and receive an annual ecclesiastical endorsement. See Admission Requirements and About BYU Ecclesiastical Endorsements. This program is not available to current BYU students who have fewer than 90 credits (exam credit excluded). The bachelor of general studies degree is designed to help former BYU students use as much as possible of their previously earned credit. It uses the same BYU curriculum offered on campus and requires the same general education, religious education, and campus residency as on–campus degrees. However, up to 90 of the required 120 credits can be earned through BYU Independent Study. The major is general studies, with an emphasis in one of six areas of study.Elective courses listed in each emphasis include only the Independent Study courses currently available. Also listed with each emphasis are general categories of BYU campus courses that can also be used to satisfy the emphasis electives.Have 27 hours of campus residency.Complete a minimum of 10 hours in the emphasis after formal admission to the BGS program.Thirty of the 120 hours must be 300-level or above courses.The IS 110, MSB 360, and M Com 320 requirements must be filled with credit less than 15 years old.
