Overview
About this Degree at the University of Notre Dame
In an integrated curriculum composed of small discussion-based Seminars and Tutorials spanning the arts, history, literature, natural science, philosophy, politics, and theology, students and professors join a vital conversation about what it means to be human.
While some students complement their Program of Liberal Studies coursework with a variety of electives, others delve more deeply into specific areas through a second major or minor. Many of our students study abroad, and all take advantage of the range of extracurricular opportunities available to students at Notre Dame. Although all of the courses in the Program are required, our Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Eric Bugyis, will work with you to create a personalized course plan that can accommodate your interests beyond PLS.
Why Choose PLS?
PLS alumnus Corey Robinson '17 said of majoring in PLS, “It was everything I wanted in one major, and it was the best decision of my life.” Learn more about Corey.Are you interested in everything? Do you always have a book in your bag (or two, or three)? Do you love having wide-ranging discussions with your friends that jump from deep questions of human meaning to the mysteries of the natural world to the urgent issues facing contemporary society?
Do you hate it when people tell you that you have to choose just one major (or just two; ok, and maybe a minor)? Do you want your education to be personally transformative, while also preparing you for whatever profession you happen to be passionate about upon graduation? Look no further.
