Program Overview
The Liberal Studies Bachelor degree program is not designed to overlap with existing degrees but rather to provide qualified students with an academic program that meets their unique needs. Offering students flexibility, independence, and academic rigor, this option provides undergraduate adult learners with the opportunity to draw on the resources of the entire curriculum, across degrees and disciplines.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program students will:
• Effectively communicate in writing and through oral communication.
• Exhibit skills in critical thinking and problem solving with ethical thought.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the liberal arts disciplines at the lower and upper levels.
• Understand and apply methods of inquiry associated with a range of disciplines.
• Design, execute, and present a personal project, which synthesizes and applies, selected knowledge, skills and experiences
appropriate to the students’ personal and professional goals and/or their chosen area of specialization.
