The Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies program is built for students with a deep interest in social justice, human rights and cultural awareness. This customizable degree program empowers you with a holistic understanding of the world and your place in it so that you can use your knowledge to effect positive change on a practical level.

We designed the program to give you the freedom to create your own course of study. Seventy percent of the program is elective courses, distributed into three domains:

  • Humanities: art history, communications, English, foreign languages, history, music, philosophy, religious studies and theater
  • Natural Sciences and Math: biology, chemistry and mathematics
  • Social Sciences: economics, human services, political science, psychology and sociology

As you engage with ideas from around the globe, you will learn to improve your reasoning and problem-solving skills, expand your appreciation of cultural diversity, develop a deeper self-understanding through personal reflection and build a portfolio of experiences that will enable you to become an engaged community member.
