专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Liberal Studies Program is designed to provide an interdisciplinary approach to the humanities, the social sciences and the sciences. The program fosters an understanding of the relationships among these disciplines and aims to provide the student with a broad based curriculum grounded in Western thought and including a global perspective. The program focuses on critical thinking, writing, and oral presentation skills, providing the students with an ability to articulate their understanding of and appreciation of the past and its influence on the present.
