Students who minor in Liberal Studies are expected
to attain a general understanding of significant concepts,
themes and figures in the three general subject areas
covered by the major: the arts and humanities, the
social sciences and the natural sciences. Students
learn to analyze, evaluate, and apply significant concepts,
themes and arguments from the three general subject
areas of Liberal Studies. Students should be able to
recognize interdisciplinary connections among the three
subject areas and synthesize parallel developments
within them. They also learn to communicate effectively,
in particular by being able to: (1) write clearly and
correctly, and (2) analyze and present ideas and subject
material coherently.
