Anything else you'd like to share?
A lot of classes apply to a General Studies degree, so if you're not quite sure what you'd like to do or are interested in different paths, try out different things and see what works for you! I didn't quite narrow down the direction I wanted to go until more than halfway through my degree, so explore your interests and take your time figuring out your path.
