Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
The B.A. degree in liberal studies affords students the opportunity to address individual needs through an interdisciplinary program of study. The flexible nature of this program permits students to integrate courses from across the University for the achievement of personalized educational goals. Those goals may be directed toward the realization of specific career objectives not met by other programs.
Students earning a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies must complete the University Core Curriculum as part of the 121 credits required for the degree.
Students will also select a minimum of eight courses each from two of the four focus areas for a minimum of 48 credits. Students must complete a minimum of three courses from a discipline in each of the other two. At least ten focus area courses that were not used to satisfy Core Curriculum requirements must be at the 300-level or above.
