The Liberal Studies program provides opportunities for students whose interests span several academic departments and disciplines. Designed for groups of mature learners with common interests that traditional majors may not fully address, the program is structured around a liberal arts core (comprised of the university's General Education requirement) and a (minimum) 30-credit specialization requirement, which may be interdisciplinary in nature. Liberal Studies majors must meet all degree requirements in place at the time of matriculation.
Liberal arts core courses provide a firm foundation of general knowledge and skills, while specialized courses add depth and focus. The program's multi-disciplinary nature allows for a rich educational experience, tailored to students' particular areas of interest.
Students may choose either a BA or a BS degree in Liberal Studies. For more information about this cohort-based program, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
