About

Not every path is straight and narrow

The BLS degree equips you with a strong liberal arts and sciences foundation while allowing you to choose a broad concentration area rather than a single specific major. This breadth and flexibility makes the degree program unique in the College, at IU, and around the nation. And if you plan carefully, you may find that you can add multiple minors and certificates to your BLS degree.

The Bachelor of Liberal Studies replaced the Bachelor of General Studies in summer 2014. Talk to a liberal studies advisor to find out how this affects you.

What can I do with a BLS degree?

The answer is really What can’t you do? With the diverse skills and knowledge you’ll gain, you can pursue a career in areas such as:

Business
Education
Law
Government
Health care
Real estate
Social services

Or you might go on to earn an advanced degree. It’s all up to you. Your BLS degree will demonstrate to future employers and graduate programs that you have the imagination, the curiosity, the smarts, and the resiliency to simultaneously pursue many interests, exercise many skills, and juggle many responsibilities.
