Pursuing General Studies at LIFE
The Life University Bachelor of Science in General Studies is tailored to the
needs of professional working people whose education has been delayed or
interrupted, but who are committed to completing an undergraduate degree.
Our interdisciplinary approach draws content from across the University, with
coursework in business, healthcare, computer information management, psychology,
nutrition and dietetics, and exercise science. You’ll receive a broad education in
the humanities, social sciences, natural science and math, and then select three
major areas of study to explore in greater depth.
Our flexible program allows you to customize a degree to your unique interests
and needs, enabling you to synthesize previous college credits with current study
to earn a degree for professional advancement. This approach also allows those
students whose interests cannot be limited to one academic discipline the freedom to
explore, and provides significant autonomy for students who desire a cross-disciplinary
foundation for graduate school.
Small Classes, Personal Mentoring
Because we maintain small classes taught by highly seasoned faculty with significant
professional experience (never graduate teaching assistants) your faculty will
become your personal mentors. They tailor classroom and internship experiences
into a seamless learning package to best prepare students for their intended
career interests. You can even customize class projects, internships and course
selections to best support your goals.
Dig Deeper – Talk to Alums and Students, Visit Campus
Prospective students tell us the most important thing they did while considering
which school to attend was actually visiting the campus. To learn more about a
successful career in your area of interest, talk to our faculty or schedule a
campus visit, check out our website at www.LIFE.edu or contact our Admissions
Department at [email protected]; 800-543-3202.
Call or email us and we’ll connect you with a working professional you can email, call
or even visit. We are also happy to connect you with current general studies students.

What I Can Do …
Professor of career development at
the University of Derby in the UK and
frequent author on effective career
preparation, Tony Watts, has noted a
shift in workplace focus from “What
I do” to “What I can do” and says
general studies majors, in particular,
are the “What I can do” people.
