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.
