Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies

The Liberal Studies program is an interdisciplinary program that allows you to dive into multiple areas of interest. You can tailor the degree to two or three of your own chosen disciplines, meaning one liberal studies major could have a very different experience from the next. Finlandia allows you to personalize your college experience so you can get the most out of your time here.
