About the course

The College of Arts and Humanities’ BA, Liberal Studies large plan (64-66 cr), small plan (45-47 cr), and Liberal Studies minor (30 cr) make it attractive for a variety of situations and academic needs.

　　The liberal studies majors and minor are designed for students whose primary interest lies in a variety of areas within the arts and humanities and requires interdepartmental course selections, which are not possible within single academic programs or established curricula. The program offers students an opportunity to devise an approved, by an academic advisor, coherent program of study from across the institution, fulfilling academic and/or career goals and includes prerequisites consistent with the 300/400-level major coursework within the approved College of Arts and Humanities courses.

　　Students in the liberal studies major must take courses in at least three disciplines within the College of Arts and Humanities. Because of the humanistic focus of the program, courses used in the program “Course of Study” from disciplines outside of the College of Arts and Humanities require the approval of BA, liberal studies program director.
