Liberal Studies students acquire familiarity and fluency across diverse fields, spanning English, history, science, and philosophy. Rooted in Scripture, our program empowers students to analyze any subject with a biblical worldview, honing communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Rather than being confined to a single area, students have the freedom to explore multiple interests. This program is particularly well-suited for transfer students due to its flexibility. Whether students prefer to focus on career-oriented classes or develop versatile soft skills, the options are abundant. The paths chosen by liberal studies graduates are as exceptional as their individual journeys throughout the major.
The Liberal Studies major is designed to offer the student a broad, interdisciplinary program of study, the epitome of the liberal arts education.
