A flexible undergraduate degree focused on breadth rather than a single major. It suits students who prefer to combine multiple areas of study, customize concentrations, and build a broad, transferable skill set for varied career paths or future graduate study.

What you'll study

The curriculum balances foundational general education with substantial customization. Students complete 30 hours of general education, choose among multiple 21-credit concentrations, and have access to about 45 hours of electives to craft a personalized course load. Coursework and outcomes focus on developing soft skills (for example: communication, creativity, empathy, cultural awareness), analytical abilities (forecasting, statistical analysis, strategic planning) and technical competencies (such as programming languages, database management, web development) depending on chosen electives and concentrations.

Entry requirements

The source material does not list specific admission criteria. Prospective applicants should consult Baker College admissions for standard undergraduate entry requirements, documentation, and any program-specific guidance.

Career prospects

This degree is intended to prepare graduates for a wide range of roles across industries by emphasizing transferable skills and curricular flexibility. Typical avenues highlighted include:

  • Business and management — positions such as office manager or entrepreneurial roles where a broad skill set is an asset.
  • Education and training — non‑classroom roles like instructional design, curriculum development, or workplace training that combine technology, multimedia and communication skills.
  • Healthcare administration — administrative and coordination roles such as medical office manager or clinical coordinator that focus on health systems and regulation rather than clinical practice.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The program description does not specify particular scholarships. Students should explore Baker College financial aid resources and scholarship offices to identify merit‑, need‑based, or program‑specific funding opportunities and to learn how a flexible general studies curriculum might align with scholarship criteria.
