The Department of Humanities offers a B.A. in Liberal Studies. Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary, self-designed, humanities-based major intentionally structured to cross traditional discipline boundaries in order to address the student's specific academic and vocational needs by individualizing his or her course of study. The Liberal Studies major asks that each student meet the General Core requirements of the University and beyond that essentially "customizes" a student's education, ensuring rigorous standards within a carefully constructed yet flexible framework.
Please note especially: the Liberal Studies major is not a General Studies or "shadow" major. Students planning to apply should be highly self-motivated and capable of doing very focused work. They will have to demonstrate a sense of vision for their future at DeSales University and beyond graduation before being accepted into the major.
Ideally, incoming freshman students who find the major attractive will first speak informally with the Coordinator about their plans. Upon acceptance into the major, the student will work closely with the Liberal Studies Coordinator in designing his or her individual course of studies. Students will be required to take demanding courses in their areas of interest, which may include courses taught on other local college or university campuses, courses taught here by visiting faculty from other local institutions, and internships. Normally, at least half of the courses in the student's program of concentration will be 300-level courses or higher.
