The study of the humanities, social sciences, and sciences has long
been recognized as the finest preparation for the challenges presented
in a world requiring critical reflection, creativity, open-mindedness,
and the courage of personal conviction. The Liberal Studies Program
is designed for students with initiative and curiosity who want to
use their skills and knowledge to make a contribution to society through
the wide array of opportunities open to persons who are thoughtful,
articulate, and liberally educated. Professions in the fields of government,
law, education, business, communications, and a wide range of cultural
endeavors consistently require persons with both breadth of vision
and breadth of knowledge.
The focus of each student's program is determined by the person's
ultimate aspirations. With the guidance of the program director, the
student examines the options available in the various disciplines
that can be combined into a rich and coherent degree program. The
program's interdisciplinary character contributes to the development
of both perspective and judgment essential to success in all human
endeavors.
The Liberal Studies program is recommended for students who plan
to teach at the elementary level. Specific courses are recommended
by the School of Education for this major. Students planning to become
teachers should inform the School of Education as soon as possible.
