Program Overview:

The Pre-Specialized Studies program designates students who intend to declare the Bachelor of Specialized Studies program major code (BS1112) , but who have not yet satisfied the admissions requirements. The Bachelor of Specialized Studies program affords undergraduate students at Ohio University the opportunity to design a degree program that is uniquely their own. Students work with faculty and staff to create an area of concentration, which stands as the equivalent of an established major. The program permits you to combine available curricula to create a unique field of study.

Opportunities Upon  Graduation
