The Bachelor of Liberal Studies (B.L.S) is an exciting interdisciplinary major that offers a strong liberal arts and sciences foundation designed for students who have a wide variety of interests.
B.L.S students choose a broad concentration area rather than a particular major, which offers increased flexibility for students to create their own course of study and relish the option of pursuing their interests across multiple fields.
Students in this major choose one of the following Breadth of Inquiry areas: Arts and Humanities, Social and Historical Studies, and Natural and Mathematical Sciences. Students are encouraged to explore minors and certificates to complement their concentration interest.
Students in this degree can develop a diverse set of skills relevant to a wide-variety of fields including business, education, law, government, healthcare, real estate, social services, arts, and industry.
