Liberal Arts

The Liberal Arts curriculum provides core credits and electives for all career-field majors, or it stands by itself as a major or minor.  Modules 2 through 12 are integrated liberal studies of mankind and civilization. They combine the history, literature, world view, great works, and major figures of each period studied.

 

The goals of Liberal Arts are critical thinking, written and spoken communication, cultural appreciation, fact finding, historical perspective, organization and planning, and leadership.  These are transferable skills that prepare the student for change and never go out of date.
