学生 may choose a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.)学位. The major provides an option in which students can pursue interdisciplinary studies and can reach across disciplinary fields to develop expertise in specified areas of focus. 学生 begin with core courses and work with an academic advisor to develop an individualized study plan with a focus area based on academic and career goals. 学生 may also elect to do an interdisciplinary emphasis in leadership. Liberal Studies is appropriate as a major for students who wish to:
- Organize their studies around 问题s, 问题, and themes rather than around the traditional disciplines; for example, the relationship between poverty and society, 社区组织, and/or local music cultures and activism.
- Focus on a particular interdisciplinary area of study; for example, 文化研究, 美国研究, 可持续性研究, 性别正义, 领导的研究, 和更多的.
- Concentrate simultaneously on a general education and a particular academic discipline or career field.
