Liberal Studies, BA

Wright State University

Help design your own degree program - one broad in scope, narrow in concentration, and flexible enough to draw courses from all of the departments and programs in the College of Liberal Arts. The liberal studies degree is ideal if your interests encompass more than one liberal arts field and you desire greater flexibility in your program. If you want to change your major but still graduate in a timely manner, or if you are a transfer student who might benefit from an interdisciplinary curriculum, consider liberal studies. Gain a strong foundation in core areas of critical thinking, writing proficiency, and interpersonal communication by pursuing a liberal studies major. You will also enroll in one ''professional component'' course, such as computer science or business, to enhance your readiness for the workplace. Armed with such skills, you will be well-equipped to adapt to constantly changing economic conditions. Combining courses in English, communications, and history may prepare you for a career in journalism or other media. Combining fine arts courses with other disciplines may open opportunities in marketing or management for museums and art galleries. A combination of philosophy, political science, and classics would even be an effective pre-law curriculum. Because the range of disciplines available is so broad, your possible career options are almost limitless.
