BA Liberal Arts

The liberal arts program helps students gain a basic understanding of the development of civilization, historical and cultural traditions, political institutions and processes, and develop an appreciation of fine arts and literature.Because it covers such a broad base, it develops the student's rational thought and intellectual capabilities in many areas.Students are able to plan a multi-disciplinary academic program, focusing primarily on subjects in social science, humanities, and the arts.Students in the liberal arts major are strongly encouraged, but not required, to seek out second majors, strong minors, or area studies certificates, which provide knowledge and prerequisite skills for further education or increase opportunities for employment.
