General Studies Program
Calumet College of St. Joseph's General Studies degree supports your goal to earn a broad based education
The General Studies Program, part of General Education at CCSJ is cross-disciplinary in character, and is intended for students whose interests and goals fall outside the framework of a traditional major. The General Studies Program offers a B.S. degree representing a broad-based education. Rather than aiming at a particular field, students acquire general skills and obtain the necessary knowledge to become contributing members of society, capable of fulfilling their civic and social roles across society.
An academic advisor, in consultation with the Program Director, assists the student in the completion of degree requirements.
