Mission Statement

The Liberal Studies program seeks to promote critical thinking, intellectual inquiry, and effective communication. Students choosing Liberal Studies as a major will develop skills to confront a myriad of complex problems by analyzing, from different perspectives, how events interrelate. By applying an interdisciplinary approach, students will develop skills to help them make decisions that will maximize both the individual and collective good.

Facilities

Wood Hall opened in September, 1989 and contains an auditorium, several general classrooms, seminar rooms, two smart classrooms and the Instructional Design and Media Center, which assists faculty with online learning and additional technology.
