PROGRAM PURPOSE
The purpose of the Liberal Studies program is to provide a curriculum

communicate effectively, solve problems, and interpret human
experience. Goals of this program are to enhance students' intellectual
and creative capacities and broaden their historical, ethical, social, and
international perspectives while allowing them some flexibility in
designing the upper-level curricula based on previous studies and
employment objectives.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
• To provide students with broad-based knowledge in the liberal
arts that results in their becoming more articulate, analytical,
historically informed, and well-rounded
• To prepare students to contribute to their work environments
and the larger society and to grow personally and
professionally throughout their careers
• To foster in students analytical and decision-making skills;
communication skills; a global perspective; a sense of social
responsibility and ethics; and characteristics of leadership
• To meet academic needs of students who wish to pursue a
baccalaureate degree in Liberal Studies and provide a solid
foundation for those preparing to pursue further education
• To attract diverse, career-oriented students by making available
curricula that correspond to employment opportunities and
community needs
ADMISSION AND GRADUATION STANDARDS
Students may apply to the Liberal Studies Program after completion of
at least 45 semester hours of accredited, college-level work. A minimum
grade point of 2.0 is required for admission and graduation. During the
first semester after the student's admission, a specific Program of Study
is developed by the student and the student's advisor and approved by
the Program Committee. Any changes to the Program of Study must be
approved by the advisor and Program Committee. All students must
earn at least 30 USC hours after admission to this program. A
