- PikaBOO - Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm a grade 12 student. I'm just wondering what general studies are like, since many of my peers and my parents have said that general studies are a waste of time, and that it is better to have a specific area to focus on. Can anyone please explain why? I've applied for a diploma in general studies in arts and sciences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opmac Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Your conceptions of what areas of studies in high school is different from what they really are. Chances are what you want to do now while in high school is not what you end up doing in university. It's good to go to Langara and find out what your interests are. In the end, your major only makes up like a third of the 120 credits you need for a bachelor's degree. You need to fill up the other credits with another major, minor, or electives.

susraiders Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I am also in grade 12. I haven't decided what I am going to to with my life so I took general studies at Kwantlen. I am only taking it to see what I would like to pursue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
