Thread:Bachelor of General Studies degree (1)

Hello--I am writing to get some clarification regarding the focus on the Bachelor of General Studies degree that seems to be a focus of the OERu. I am not sure I understand why the emphasis on the Bachelor’s in General Studies. As far as I knew, one primary goal of this project was to develop materials that could lead to any degree—am I mistaken? My institution, Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey, offers something like the Bachelor of General Studies (the BA in Liberal Studies comes closest), but I would not want to limit students to that option. Is the intention just to make sure that there is a point of articulation among the programs offered by the OERu-affiliated institutions? That would make more sense.
