The liberal studies major in the School for Continuing and Professional Studies offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum. It is excellent preparation for students who plan to go on to graduate work, particularly in law, social services or human services. The liberal studies program not only provides a broad background in the liberal arts, it offers students the option of a concentration in business administration, computer studies, communication, criminal justice, history, philosophy, psychology, sociology and religious studies. The unique quality of this program is the flexibility of curricular options as the student reaches upper-division work.
After students achieve a specific content base and an understanding of the various modes of communication specific to the liberal arts and sciences, they may elect to continue with their area of concentration by taking coursework.
