General Studies

Oakwood University has developed its Bachelor of Science in General Studies degree to meet the needs of students with two or more years of accumulated college credit (70 credits).

The General Studies degree is particularly beneficial to former Oakwood students. It allows them to build on the credits they previously earned from Oakwood as well as other schools to earn a college degree in a manageable amount of time. No majors or minors are required for the degree.
