UGAChemDawg Wrote:Colleges are accredited to award generic bachleors degrees (B.A. or B.S.) only. That is as far as the regional accreditation body's concern goes. In traditional, liberal arts disciplines like history, biology, psychology, etc., the content of the area of study within that degree is entirely up to the individual college.

If that's the case, then why doesn't COSC name their degrees properly?
"Bachelor of Science/Arts in General Studies with a Concentration in X" is the format for all degrees from COSC, I believe.
I thought this had something to do with accreditation.
