Humanities/Social Sciences

The General Studies degree is for students whose primary interest in either humanities or social sciences requires programs and course selections which are not possible within single academic units or established curricula. Students who wish to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities or a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences will devise an approved, coherent program of study which fulfills an academic or career goal and includes prerequisites consistent with the 300-400-level course work. In addition, each student will satisfy the General Education Requirements and any additional requirements of the College of Liberal Arts.
