Liberal Studies students are strongly encouraged to think creatively in utilizing electives. Intermediate language courses, study abroad, and internships are highly recommended; additional humanities department courses are strongly encouraged. Students are also urged to take full advantage of LVAIC offerings.
Adult Studies students applying for admission to the AIM program will follow the liberal studies major as outlined by that program.
