Liberal Studies

If your goal in college is to pursue a broad range of interests or to develop a specialized program in areas where majors are not currently offered, our Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) and Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies (AALS) degree programs are just what you’re looking for. The BLS option is designed by you and your academic advisor to ensure a comprehensive academic experience, while allowing flexibility in fulfilling requirements. It can serve as a terminal degree or as preparation for graduate school, professional school, or employment in business, government or industry. The AALS, a 64 credit hour program, includes a strong core of foundation courses and allows you to study selected disciplines in-depth. If you have a lot of college coursework under your belt already, our BLS and the AALS allow you to pull it all together, give it shape and complete your degree.






    Several concentrations are available in addition to the General concentration, each aiming to provide workable guidelines for students interested in Business, Communication, Creative Writing, Education, or Social Science.
