The Liberal Arts Major offers a broad overview of the arts, sciences, and humanities. Within this major you can expect to take upper-division courses in the chief disciplines – the Arts, Social Sciences, History and Literature, Mathematics and Science, and Religious Studies while choosing at least one area of concentration to study. Through this core you will gain a breadth of knowledge beyond the general education of the first two years of college and develop critical thinking, communication, and reasoning skills.

A major in Liberal Arts does not provide training for a specific career. Rather students who choose this major are suited for advanced studies in virtually any subject area and a wide choice of careers. Often, employers are seeking staff members who are not trained in a narrow field or way of thinking but rather are able to look at different topics and recognize and understand relationships between them. As a Liberal Arts graduate you fit the bill and may find yourself working in education, communications, business, government, public service or law.
