Liberal Studies
Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies allows students to design a balanced,
integrative curriculum in both arts and sciences and professional studies education. The
flexibility of the program makes it particularly valuable for transfer students who bring
to the College a background in career or professional studies education.
Goals:
• To prepare students to become lifelong learners in both their professional and
personal lives;
• To emphasize the inter-relatedness of liberal and professional education;
• To encourage intellectual, social, and ethical growth through the critical examination
of works in art, science, philosophy, and literature; and
• To prepare students to be successful citizens and leaders in a global community.
Special Features:
All students in the Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies program are required to take a
professional internship.
