About the course

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. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships

How to apply

Entry requirements for Brigham Young University - Provo

BYU requires official transcripts from each college you have attended. This includes transcripts of courses taken through concurrent enrollment programs while in high school. Applicants must report all college work in the college section of the application whether or not it was completed on a college campus. Even if the work will be on a high school transcript, the college must be included. Failure to report a complete academic history may result in an offer of admission being revoked, loss of credit, or dismissal from the University.

　　If you are applying with less than 24 university/college GPA credit hours and/or just graduated from high school, you will be required to report your graded, US-accredited high school work, that's been completed from 9th through 12th grade.

　　You will need access to your high school transcript when self-reporting in the application and will enter your courses and grades, according to the grading scale on your high school transcript. Grades should be reported exactly as they appear on your high school transcript. Transcripts that do not match the self-reported grades may result in your offer of admission being revoked.
