A certain number proceed to Post-Degree Programs in elementary or secondary education, and many are working in ESL and adult education. The main purpose for the Minor program is to offer students a chance to experience a significantly different form of pedagogy for part of their undergraduate career. Furthermore, the availability of a Minor will offer students who decide, in mid-career, not to complete a Liberal Studies Major an identifiable credential which marks their achievement in Liberal Studies. As such they will provide a generalist complement to the disciplinary experience acquired elsewhere. Students who wish to participate in optional field trips to more distant events will have additional expenses.
All fees are subject to change without prior notice.
In the case of certain Double Major combinations involving Liberal Studies, where there is some degree of overlap between the contents and methodologies of the two programs, special arrangements have been made to enable students to fulfill the requirements of both Majors without an excessive load in upper-level courses. For example, a Double Major in History and Liberal Studies requires only 24 credits of History courses in addition to the 36 of Liberal Studies. Note 2 above refers to a further method of achieving a similar result. All such arrangements are subject to the joint agreement of the Chairs of the departments offering each Major program. Normally these 18 credits will include LBST 310, but variations may be allowed by permission of the Co-ordinator.
