“The flexibility of the Bachelor of General Studies Program at USI
lends itself well to adult students. I have had the opportunity to study a broad range of topics in my quest for a balanced, yet interdisciplinary education. “

Sarah McQuay is a junior BGS student, working with the Healthy Families program at the Youth Service Bureau. Sarah says:

"The BGS program respects the fact that I have a limited amount of time. With the ability to focus on my professional needs, I feel that every class I take will benefit me."
