DescriptionConcordia’s 4-year General Studies program offers students the opportunity to move forward with their education, and more flexibility in their major/concentration selections.

For students having a hard time deciding between two majors for a 4-year degree (and not wanting to complete a double major), the General Studies program allows them to complete a dual concentration, which requires fewer courses in each area of study. This program is also beneficial to students who are in the middle of a 3-year BA and want to stay for a fourth year, but do not have the requirements for a 4-year degree in their area of study. Students may find it easier to apply their completed courses to another concentration, which can be completed in their fourth year.
