The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts (LAR) offers students the opportunity to gain a broad-based understanding of human activities, institutions, and societies and to develop their ability to think and write critically in the classical tradition of the liberal arts. The program prepares students for a wide variety of careers in human services, the professions, teaching, and the corporate world. It is especially recommended for those intending to become elementary school teachers. Given its broad academic scope, it provides the foundation for long-term career development and change. Students select one concentration in the Humanities and one concentration in the Social Sciences.

Upon completing this major, students will be able to:

Understand the diversity of disciplinary perspectives and relationships across diverse fields of knowledge;
Identify and formulate multidisciplinary research questions based on key concepts, literature, practices, and issues of their areas of concentration;
Demonstrate critical thinking and communication skills that relate their academic knowledge to civic engagement and issues in their communities;
Conduct research that evaluates and employs primary and secondary resources effectively, using appropriate disciplinary conventions for citation and documentation; and,
Develop, write, and present original analyses in clear, grammatical prose.

Another benefit of the LAR major is our new initiative to bring classes to you using the latest technology. You can study in the classroom, you can study online, or you can take blended classes that incorporate the best techniques from both face-to-face and online learning. In blended classes, the class is organized using online software and much of your work is done in an asynchronous manner (on your time, not ours), but you also meet periodically in a classroom so that you can get to know the professor and other students while performing learning tasks more conducive to a traditional classroom. During the 2007-2008 academic year, LAR faculty will be developing courses using new technology specifically for LAR majors.
