The Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts major is a multipurpose, broad-based B.A. degree program specializing in analytical problem-solving, human and cultural knowledge, innovative thinking, and personal reflection. Our curriculum emphasizes broad intellectual understanding, informed cultural awareness, and spacious interdisciplinary perspective, resulting in a unique and personal academic experience.

Equally, students will accrue career enhancing communication and problem-solving skills essential for success in hundreds of careers awaiting them after graduation. The Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts B.A. degree is purposefully designed to be flexible, adaptive, expansive, and responsive to the changing and evolving academic interests and intellectual needs of our students. It is a major ideally suited for the ever-changing and rapidly-evolving 21st century workplace, preparing students for both existing careers and those not yet imagined. As students change and evolve, so does this major.

To further increase depth and focus, and to enhance expertise and career opportunities, Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts students are required to complete a second field of study, which can be any minor, or a second major, or 21 credits (6 upper division) in a foreign language.
