BA in Liberal Studies

at Anna Maria College

Anna Maria College supports a liberal arts education in the Catholic tradition along with strong career preparation. The General Education Curriculum and distribution requirements ensure that each student builds a basic foundation on this model, and then adds an area of focused study by choosing an area of concentration within a particular discipline. Some students, however, seek to develop an even broader appreciation of liberal studies across disciplines. To accommodate this goal without the demands imposed by other majors, Anna Maria College offers a major in Liberal Studies. Specific requirements involve a plan for the distribution of courses, the selection of a minor and the choice of the final General Education Seminar course. Students electing to major in Liberal Studies pursue an area of more integrated study by compiling a minor in some discipline offered by the College.
