Skill building is at the heart of the Liberal Studies degree. Exposure to a strong foundation of knowledge helps students develop problem-solving and communication skills that apply to a wide-range of disciplines. The Interdisciplinary Concentration is perfect for creative and independent students!

The Liberal Studies-Interdisciplinary program is de facto interdisciplinary. Students benefit from an exploratory curriculum drawing from multiple disciplines.  Students create their own concentration using courses across the curriculum with the help of a faculty advisor. Students can apply the knowledge and skills they acquire from their self-directed concentration to a variety of careers, depending upon the focus.
