In fact, this is common practice among liberal arts schools and is the very definition of what a liberal education means. The only other "majors" at COSC are in non-liberal arts subjects, which are not a central part of COSC's academic wheelhouse, per se, and it makes sense to treat them differently.
When I enrolled at COSC before deciding to move on, the advisor I had and spoke to quite often made it very clear that I had a major and my major would be in general studies, and that psychology would just be my concentration. So maybe a general studies degree is just equivalent to a B.S or B.A degree in liberal arts with a concentration in XYZ?
