The L.S.A. major is a distribution-based B.A. course of study.
Students work closely with a faculty adviser.
Within the second semester as a registered major, students should submit a Statement of Purpose to describe the coherence and goals of their selected course work. Beginning Fall 1997, LSA students have more flexibility in choosing an area of concentration for the major. Those with strong interests in the fine arts or foreign language will find that the new distribution system, effective Fall 1997, allows them to take more courses in their area of interest. The new requirements apply to all students who declare an LSA major after August 1997. Those already in the major may choose to stay with their original plan of study, or adopt the new one.
