LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The student’s course of study in the Liberal Studies Program is part of the undergraduate program devoted exclusively to liberal education. Students must take a set of Liberal Studies Core courses as well as courses in six Liberal Studies Domains. The program seeks to balance and, when necessary, augment the student’s course of study in the major field. All students in the School of Education are required to complete 76-80 quarter hours of liberal studies course work. Except for LSE 380, education students may not take education courses to fulfill liberal studies requirements. For more information concerning the purpose and curriculum of the Liberal Studies Program consult the Liberal Studies section of the course catalog. Only designated courses may be taken for Liberal Studies credit. Log on to Campus Connection and use the Liberal Studies drop-down box when selecting courses for the Learning Domains.  The student should be certain to consult an advisor if there are any questions about how to select courses in the Learning Domains. Academic advisement is an integral part of the Liberal Studies Program and necessary to the integration of the program with the requirements of the student’s major field. The number and distribution of the required Liberal Studies course work is incorporated below under Professional Education Program Requirements.
 
Modern Language Option Within the Liberal Studies Program
Students who wish to study a modern language, either for their own interest or for the requirements of their major field, may be able to substitute a three-course sequence in a modern language for two courses in two different domains except Scientific Inquiry. Interested students should contact an advisor for information concerning the regulations and procedures governing the exercise of the option. Courses will be applied in consultation with a School of Education advisor.
