Students listening intently in political science class

Liberal arts and sciences degree programs, based in the social sciences, sciences, and humanities, implore students to ask deep questions. Our learners explore the nature of the individual, society, and our physical world - investigating not just the how but the why. This depth of inquiry provides students with both broad knowledge in a variety of areas and in-depth knowledge in their specific field of interest.
