Liberal Studies

Degree offered: Bachelor of Arts

Ultimately liberal education is about the freedom we have to be responsible for ourselves, our world, and our purpose in life. Liberal education is also about living effectively in the world; it is about having a vocation through which we fully develop our personality; and it is about living in friendship with others. With a liberal education we are able to broaden the angle of vision by which we see and experience the world, and we are able to probe more deeply the contributions the life of the mind have made to human civilization. Because of this, we say a liberal education is a sure way to a more fully human life.
