The BGS program is an Upper Division or junior-senior level program of the University. Individuals seeking admission must have completed either an associate's degree or a minimum of 60 semester credit hours from a regionally accredited college or university. Applicants must also complete special application forms and be interviewed by a program counselor. Once admitted, BGS students must maintain a divisional grade point average of 2.0 or better and must register each semester for courses or for continuous registration.
All BGS students must complete a program of study consisting of at least 120 semester credits (included in this are the 60 credits awarded upon admission) which includes:
A. At least 30 credits of course work taken at any campus of the University of Connecticut; and,
B. At least 30 credits in junior-senior level courses (numbered in the 200 series at the University of Connecticut or approved as the equivalent level for transfer from other institutions); and,
C. The Bachelor of General Studies Summary Project, a three credit Upper Division course which may be applied to requirement A and B directly above. A BGS student may petition the Dean for a waiver of this summary project course and to substitute another course in its place.
Additionally, BGS students must fulfill the University's general education requirements in effect during the year of admission. General education requirements may be fulfilled with course credits transferred into UConn as well as with courses taken while in the program. A BGS student may petition for a waiver of Group 1 (Foreign Language) requirement and of the one semester laboratory science portion of the Group 8 (Science and Technology) requirement.
Ordinarily a BGS student is expected to complete degree requirements within eight years unless an extension of time to complete the program is given.
