Liberal Studies, B.A.

The B.A. degree in liberal studies affords students the opportunity to address individual needs through an interdisciplinary program of study.

Students must complete a minimum of three courses from a discipline in each of the other two focus areas. At least ten focus area courses that were not used to satisfy Core Curriculum requirements must be at the 3000-level or above.  Additionally, 33 credits of electives are required.  In total, students must complete at least 121 credits.
