General studies allow students to learn from several disciplines at TWU, which ultimately provides them with a well-rounded liberal arts education. In addition, students who major in general studies take their interests beyond the usual disciplinary boundaries and have the flexibility to self-select which disciplines they want to focus on.

A geography degree offers students the opportunity to tackle complex human and environmental problems with a skill set that emphasizes a combination of knowledge-building, critical thinking, informed problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, geospatial technologies and analysis, and hands-on solutions to positively impact people’s quality of life and their environments.
