Why choose an Integrative Studies major?
Integrative Studies Student Video Spotlights
Students in Integrative Studies (formerly Liberal Studies) take a wide variety of courses across the disciplines at GVSU.
Each course, whether selected for the Area of Focus or Contextual Electives, is carefully chosen by individual students
in coordination with their advisor, meaning that no two study plans or Area of Focus are the same.
These spotlights will give you a glimpse of the options afforded by the flexibility of the Integrative Studies Degree. They also show various ways that students have constructed Study Plans and Areas of Focus to meet their interests and needs.
