Overview

You'll develop your creativity, critical thinking skills, and sense of independence while you explore concentrations across the humanities, social sciences, and interdisciplinary programs:

the humanities: art history, English, foreign languages, history, philosophy

the social sciences: anthropology, economics, political science, policy studies, sociology, women's and gender studies

interdisciplinary programs: sustainability, urban studies, women's and gender studies

Recent studies have shown that a degree in liberal arts provides a strong foundation for professional careers and scholarly work. You'll develop the qualities that future employers prize most: strong communication skills, the ability to assess a situation and develop a course of action, and the confidence to work independently.

As a major in the Liberal Arts program of University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, you will design your own interdisciplinary path as you choose two concentrations and bring them together to create new ways of seeing, knowing, and expressing your academic and research interests.

Liberal arts majors find careers in business, communications, education, government, human resources, museums, non-profit organizations, public policy, and social work. You'll be prepared for graduate study in the fields you'll explore as you select your liberal arts concentrations.

Liberal Arts major

You'll have the opportunity to work with faculty across a variety of departments, take introductory courses to determine your concentrations, and deepen your focus through seminars and related experiences beyond the classroom.

The LAR program is focused on providing close mentorship and guidance to its students, and all majors work with a faculty advisor from one of our contributing disciplines. We encourage LAR majors to make the most of their educations, taking advantage of academic minors, and opportunities for internships, service learning, and study abroad.
