Description

Our world is increasingly complex. The people who understand and communicate about it best often have the well-rounded education that a liberal studies degree can provide.

As a liberal studies major, you’ll design your own program of study choosing from subjects offered in the OSU College of Liberal Arts disciplines — fine arts, humanities and social studies. You’ll choose from classes that broaden and deepen your knowledge in American studies, anthropology, art, English, communication, graphic design, new media communication, political science, psychology, social science sociology and writing.

You’ll organize your plan of study around a theme. You can select a pre-designed theme or work with an advisor to choose courses and design a theme to support your personal and career goals.

Your custom curriculum will give you critical thinking skills that can help you make a big picture relevant or a small example powerful. It’s a background that will give you a leg up in your career — whether it’s teaching, public relations, business, or even law. Employers want people who can collaborate, write and speak well. They need individuals like you who can translate our complex world into stories that can move and persuade, and make a positive impact.
