Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Arts in General Studies is a three-year degree offered through Burman University's Department of General Studies. It uses an open curriculum model that lets students build a personalized program of study across the arts and humanities rather than following a fixed major. The degree combines a set of required core courses with a wide range of elective options, giving students breadth across multiple disciplines and the chance to develop basic proficiency in a second language. Students can shape their coursework around personal interests and career goals, including tracks in civil and Christian service, community leadership, human resources, management and banking, or administrative and educational assistant roles. The program suits students who want flexibility to explore several subject areas before committing to a specific professional path, and it can also serve as a foundation for further study or direct entry into the workforce.
