Liberal Studies Major

The Liberal Studies degree allows you to develop a personalized major organized around a theme. The theme you select should represent career and life goals and meet specific learning objectives. Your learning objectives will be met by the courses you select for inclusion in your Liberal Studies degree.

Getting Ready

Think about your career, family, and community aspirations. What do you want to do in the future? What do you need to know? What skills should you acquire? What are your interests? Many students find that talking with faculty can help them to create an interdisciplinary program responsive to their interests. Some students also find a review of all of the classes offered by the College of Liberal Arts (see catalog) to be a helpful way to identify personal interests and professional directions. You may also want to do an "informational interview" with someone working in your chosen profession to find out what skills and knowledge are needed to be successful in a particular field.
