 Return to: Academic Departments
Associate’s Degree: The Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies is a program of 64 credit hours. Its principal feature is accessibility to many courses within program guidelines that include a strong core of foundation courses and that allow students to study selected disciplines in-depth. Courses applicable to the General Concentration are available on campus and at off-campus Centers.
Several concentrations are available in addition to the General options. Each concentration is the result of interdisciplinary planning among faculty members. The aim of each is to provide workable guidelines for students interested in Business, Education, Creative Writing, or Social Science.
AALS students wishing to study a discipline in-depth should attend very early to the matter of course prerequisites for upper-level (300 or higher) courses.
AALS students wishing to move at a later date into a fouryear Bachelor’s program should arrange with their advisors to take as many courses satisfying the General Education Curriculum as possible during their progress toward the AALS degree. Then, if conditions allow the pursuit of the four-year degree, the transition will be smooth.
