A four-year program of interdisciplinary exploration
The liberal studies major provides an interdisciplinary approach to education, allowing students to design a degree tailored to produce professionals and scholars prepared for the cosmopolitan nature of the 21st century.
You choose an area of concentration while simultaneously taking a liberal arts foundation of courses. The result is a well rounded education valued by both graduate schools and employers seeking students with a broad range of knowledge and skills. The liberal studies major draws upon the combined strength of a dynamic liberal arts curricula and the extensive breadth of expertise offered by Pont Park’s programs and schools — empowering students to make flexible and informed career and academic decisions.
If you are a student who already knows your field of major concentration, the liberal studies program provides the strong context of the liberal arts that will be a foundation for your degree. If you are as of yet unsure of your area of expertise, the program offers the ability to undertake a wide range of courses that will help decide where your focused interests lie as you advance in making your degree a reality.
The ability to coordinate many areas of study into a concerted and coherent program is often attractive as well to transfer and non-traditional students who have earned a wide range of degree credits across curriculum, and is available as a capstone program. This combination of breadth of study and precision of focus constitutes the heart of both the program and the University experience.
