 Return to: Majors and Programs
The Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies provides full-or part-time students with the opportunity to obtain a general, well-rounded education. The course work is distributed, therefore, among the arts, social studies, natural sciences, and humanities. The program also includes the opportunity to supplement this general background in the liberal arts with specialized courses according to student’s own interests. This degree program is intended to be complete in itself. However, it is also an excellent preparation for students who wish to continue study leading to a bachelor’s degree. Such students should consult with their advisors to be sure that their programs, as planned, meet specific requirements for their intended specialization at the bachelor’s level.
