The Liberal Studies major is an interdisciplinary program in which students pursue broad interests or develop a specialized program in areas where majors are not currently offered. It encourages skills for responsible citizenship, including critical thinking, self-knowledge, and interdisciplinary understanding, and is appropriate for students who wish to participate fully in shaping their university education to their needs and interests.

Career Directions

• The Liberal Studies major by its nature does not aim at a single career path. Rather, it offers a meaningful liberal education to students who 1) have broad career goals, 2) already have a career and wish to advance it with a bachelor’s degree, 3) seek to enrich their lives through a classic liberal education, 4) wish to prepare for graduate or professional study. The major could be appropriate for students interested in any of the following, for example:
• Arts
• Business
• Communications
• Education
• Government
• Human Services
• Law
• Library Science
• Medicine
• Nonprofit Organizations
• Also: Graduate School
