LIBERAL STUDIES
Henry W. Decker, Ph.D., Chair
Committee in Charge
MAJOR The Liberal Studies interdisciplinary major offers a broad liberal education. The first two years introduce students to the traditional areas of learning and attempt to provide them with an understanding of their interrelationships. During the junior and senior years, students select at least two fields of concentration. The purpose is to provide a focus for students' educational interests that enables them to acquire competence in the methodology and goals of two fields of concentration by extending and deepening investigations begun during the first two years. Concentration requirements are sufficiently flexible to enable students to prepare for graduate or professional school training as well as to pursue their interests in other areas.
