Overview

About the program:

This degree program provides the opportunity for students to develop a unique program of study combining courses from three or more University of New Mexico departments and/or colleges.

With the help of a Liberal Arts and Integrative Studies advisor, students will structure a comprehensive plan of study, which will be thematically based and multidisciplinary in nature. The B.A. degree also enables students who have obtained a certificate or associate degree at an accredited community college to complete a bachelor’s degree at The University of New Mexico.
The Liberal Studies degree is not intended for the undecided student, and it may not be part of a double major – however, it may be used as a dual or second degree. Liberal Arts is a major only, and while no official minor is required to be declared with this major, the use of an existing departmental minor is encouraged.
Strict compliance with B.A. requirements is mandatory for admission to and continuation in the program. Changes to approved plans of study may be made only in consultation with an advisor.
A bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts is different from all other Bachelor's degrees in that it’s curriculum is not pre-approved by an academic department, and may not follow a traditional academic discipline or career path. It is self-designed by each student to meet very specific academic or career goals.
