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 seven areas of study. The emphasis adds a measure of specialization and can be completed in one of the following areas: American Studies English Exercise and Wellness Family Life History (Family History Track) History (History Track) Management Psychology
