About Liberal Studies
Liberal Studies is a broad based undergraduate liberal arts major leading to a B.A. degree. It is an interdisciplinary major that includes studies in language arts, humanities, mathematics, sciences, visual and performing arts, history, and social sciences. Courses in the major are drawn from departments throughout the university. While most Liberal Studies majors are interested in an elementary school teaching career, the major is also appropriate for those students who want an interdisciplinary general studies degree.
Students who intend to become Elementary or Special Education teachers will follow one of the Liberal Studies Teacher Preparation Programs. Students interested in a broad liberal arts education with studies in many subject areas rather than concentrating in one field of study can follow the General Option. All Options are comprehensive majors that incorporate nearly all requirements for a B.A. degree. Students following the Teacher Preparation Options complete their General Education and Title V requirements as part of their major. While, General Studies option students complete their General Education and Title V requirements outside of the major.
