General Studies is a mash-up of everything that ever interested you. Love racing? Heck, take a class in Wind Tunnel Aerodynamics Lab. Huge Star Wars fan? How about Science Fiction Film 101. As a kid, did your lemonade stand prosper? Here’s Business 304: Marketing in Central Asia.
Study whatever your heart desires, and still end up with a degree that can land you in jobs as wildly different as marketing guru for a hybrid car startup to a curator for the Mutter Museum of medical oddities. And who knows, you just might find the real you along the way.
