Welcome to Liberal Studies

The Liberal Studies or liberal arts degree is not only one of the oldest university degrees but also the extremely relevant for 21st century living. To be an educated and effective person today, one must be able to understand knowledge and ideas across the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences to solve local and global issues. Whether in the workplace or in one’s community, individuals need to identify and discern which ideas, arguments and proposals have merit or realistic possibilities, which requires clear, deliberative and critical thinking. >> More Info

ATTENTION: The Liberal Studies Office is now located in 94-203. (Note that the Liberal Studies faculty will NOT be moving at this time, but are scheduled to move to offices near the new LS office at a later time.)
