About the course

The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies offers an interdisciplinary education in the arts and humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, together with rigorous training in critical thinking and argumentative writing. It thus establishes a secure foundation for any profession that requires general knowledge and prizes independent and creative thought. The program?s graduates have been successful in education, law, management, non-profit and various entrepreneurial activities. Liberal Studies effectively prepares students to obtain a multiple subject teaching credential and to pursue a variety of graduate degrees. Forming a diverse community and taking multiple perspectives, Liberal Studies students become well-rounded persons and life-long learners.

　　Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary program that integrates ideas from the humanities and arts, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. Its central core course sequence traces the historical development of these areas of knowledge in their intellectual and cultural contexts from antiquity to the present. The other core courses compare and contrast the methods and underlying assumptions of the humanities and arts, the natural sciences, and the social sciences, explore the ways in which these disciplines communicate, and deepen knowledge in selected areas. The critical thinking and communication skills these courses develop provide students with the self-confidence that comes from being able to express one?s ideas clearly and effectively both orally and in writing. The core courses use a combination of lecture, discussion, and seminar to make the students not only well-rounded and well-educated persons but also more independent thinkers and more creative human beings.
