    Degree Requirements

    The Major in Liberal Studies offers a broadly interdisciplinary liberal arts program that may be tailored to match a wide variety of students鈥� educational and professional goals.  Our majors can complete either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Liberal Studies.

    In addition to fulfilling Core, College, and University requirements for their degrees, students majoring in Liberal Studies must satisfy the following:

    1. All requirements for a Minor in each of three different fields: at least two of the three Minors must be from programs offered within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS), but one of the three Minors may be from another college.  Since the program is interdisciplinary in nature, students majoring in Liberal Studies will not have to fulfill the College requirement for an additional 9 hours across three fields outside of their Major.

    2. File degree plans for each of the three Minors, complete the 15 or 18 credit hours and all other requirements for each of the chosen Minors, including grade point averages, for a total of 45 to 54 credit hours.  Courses taken for one Minor cannot be used to satisfy requirements in either of the other two Minors.

    3. In addition to the completion of requirements for the student鈥檚 chosen three minors, the Liberal Studies major has 3 requirements.  The program has 2 required courses: the Introduction to Liberal Studies course (ILAS 2350) 鈥淜nowledge and Methods,鈥� and the Senior Seminar course (ILAS 4350) 鈥淚nterdisciplinary Problem-Solving.鈥�  The third requirement is called 鈥淭he Practicum.鈥�

    4. The third program requirement (called 鈥淭he Practicum鈥�) can be fulfilled by selecting one of the following four options:  1) a third course 鈥淧ower Writing鈥� (ILAS 3350); OR  2)  an approved credit-bearing Study Abroad program; OR  3)  an approved credit-bearing Professional or Academic Internship or public service project; OR  4)  an Honors Thesis or other approved credit-bearing significant research capstone project.  Options 2-4 must be approved in advance by the Liberal Studies Program Coordinator.
