Liberal Studies


The liberal studies major recognizes individual needs and interests of students by allowing all course work beyond the Core Curriculum to reflect elective choices. This program provides students with a broad degree of flexibility so that students may tailor their studies to their goals or interests. Students may combine the Liberal Studies degree with certificate programs to create an individualized program that suits their career goals. Those with large numbers of transfer credits outside the core requirements are best accommodated in this major.
