General Studies at Regional Higher Education Commission (RHEC) Program Description
The B.S. in General Studies will be tailored to meet the career and educational goals of students within an individualized academic learning program framework. It is particularly designed for transfer students who have acquired credits in different areas of interest and returning students who may have interrupted their education for personal or professional reasons. Additionally, students whose professional aspirations do not require a specific major may find that the General Studies degree provides an earlier graduation option with minimum interruption to their work. The WAU and LCC partnership will offer students who have completed an associate degree at LCC (from HCC or PGCC) or from another college, the option to pursue a bachelor’s degree without having to leave the LCC campus.
