Overview

Through customized learning activities at the University of Illinois Springfield , the Liberal Studies degree assists students in enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, living as engaged and responsible citizens, considering ethics and consequences of actions, and being familiar with a broad and integrated core of knowledge.

Features

Students pursue their degree through course work selected from throughout the university as well as independent studies, service learning, and credit for prior learning.

In order to plan a balanced degree, students choose electives that address the following seven broad subject categories: identity, work, nature, institutions, language, heritage, and art.

Although degree plans must be broad enough to meet the interdisciplinary goals of the degree, students may choose a thematic focus for their degrees, such as international studies or human resource development.

In addition, students may have a minor such as African-American Studies, Business, Liberty Studies, Philosophy, or Women and Gender Studies.
