B.A. Liberal Studies

The liberal studies major allows the student a major composed of various disciplines rather than one discipline only. It emphasizes breadth, while requiring a concentration of 15 credits in a single discipline. It is intended that, by broadening the student’s cultural perspective, heightening the student’s analytical powers, and providing models for understanding experience, the liberal studies major will make a valuable contribution to whatever vocation the student elects. It may be taken along with vocational courses, or as a second major, or as preparation for a graduate or professional degree.

Park, a four-year, private, nonprofit, liberal arts institution has helped students break barriers to education since 1875. Our motto, fides et labour (Latin for “faith and work”) is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. A Park University education is an opportunity to find faith in yourself — by discovering your potential and working to realize it.

Park University’s core values are academic excellence, inclusivity and social responsibility. Diversity is in our DNA — Park’s first graduating class included four women. Today, we welcome more than 260 international students from 60 countries.
