Bachelor of Liberal Studies
The
bachelor of liberal studies degree program is one option available
to students whose interests extend beyond a single academic major
or more traditional interdepartmental program. The degree's flexibility
may make it an appropriate option, for example, for nontraditional
students who enroll only in evening courses.
A
fully admitted student at the University may be evaluated for admission
to the B.L.S. program if he or she has:
- Completed
no fewer than 30 semester hours;
- A minimum
GPA of 2.5;
- At least
30 semester hours of coursework remaining to be completed before
graduation;
- Submitted
the application for admission into the B.L.S. degree program within
the first 14 days of the semester in which the last 30 hours of
the degree program are begun;
- Submitted
a personal essay of three to five pages which articulates specific
correspondences between the student's long- and short-term goals
and objectives and the proposed curriculum;
- Completed
ENG 112;
- Removed all
high school deficiencies (if appropriate);
- Completed
the University's general education program (see University
general education).
Students
enrolled at BGSU Firelands must meet with an adviser at the time
application is made.
A
B.L.S. degree program may include within the 122 hours required
for graduation no more than 27 hours within any one department in
the College of Arts and Sciences.
To
be eligible to graduate in the B.L.S. degree program, a student
must have:
- Met all of
the requirements set forth above and have been admitted to the
program;
- Completed
100 hours of coursework within the College of Arts and Sciences;
