About the Liberal Studies Program

While choosing from an interdisciplinary curriculum that joins courses in political science, philosophy, history, and sociology, you'll be prepared for a career in law, government, or regional and urban planning. You'll have the opportunity to gain practical experience through an internship. The program's capstone courses, which are usually taken your senior year, are typically taught by professionals in the areas of law, government or planning, giving you the chance to learn from their experience in the field and to make important professional contacts. There's also the opportunity to assist the professors with current projects.

The combination of broad-based liberal arts courses with internships and capstone courses will enable you to make a seamless transition from the classroom to either the marketplace or graduate school. Even more, this unique combination of courses and professional opportunities will allow you to make the transition into the workplace with a powerful advantage.
