Program of Study - Topical Seminars:
These seminars are upper division courses in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences that change each semester. Students are required to take three seminars in each discipline area in order to graduate and may take a tenth seminar as an elective. Students are responsible for abiding with the program’s prerequisites and should seek an academic adviser’s guidance before enrolling in courses.
Prerequisites for the Liberal Studies topical seminars:
Electives:
Students are to establish an emphasis area that ties together their educational interests and/or career aspirations. The objective of these courses should be one of both academic investigation and focus on sound educational goals. Students should seek the advice of an academic adviser in the drafting of their elective course components.
Area of Concentration:
