Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies Online Degree Completion
On this page:
Overview
Students have the option of completing the program requirements for the major in Liberal Studies in a fully online delivery mode. This online option is more limited in scope than the regular program of study. But it is an option for students who need the flexibility of an online degree. As the College of Liberal Arts expands its online offerings, the number of available courses will increase.
Students electing the online option may choose either the Social Sciences or the Humanities concentration. The Social Sciences concentration has the greatest range of online course offerings and is the concentration that students will find most workable in this format. The range of on-line Humanities courses is more limited. We are currently not offering a fully online Fine Arts Concentration, but a hybrid program, which mixes online Core and traditional Fine Arts Concentration courses, is possible.
