The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies is designed to provide a
quality, multidisciplinary education. Its flexible approach is
geared especially to the nontraditional student, typically pursuing
a degree at night, while working full time during the day.
Instead of choosing the traditional single academic major area
of study, the Liberal Studies major studies a variety of areas
centered on the humanities, the social sciences and science and
mathematics. A minor area includes one of the many career
areas offered such as:
- administrative studies
- business
- computer science
- criminal justice
- health services
- journalism
- paralegal studies
