This multi-disciplinary degree emphasizes breadth of learning. In place of the traditional major field courses, BLS students take additional courses in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and sciences, and communication arts.

The Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree is designed for mature students with clearly defined academic and career goals. Working closely with an advisor, the student prepares an individual program of study that is consistent with his or her expectations and plans. BLS graduates find employment with social service agencies, governmental organizations, industries and businesses. Many employers seek broadly educated individuals for managerial and/or administrative positions for which specific orientation is provided after employment.
