Online Minors for the Bachelor of Arts in General Studies Degree Program

Minors are not required for BGS students. However, the addition of a minor can add more depth to a specialty and increase job options once you graduate. You can have as many as three (3) minors within the BGS Program.

Course availability subject to College Deans and Academic Program offerings.

Visit WIU Academics Undergraduate Minors page for additional information regarding online minors.
