About Bachelor of Arts - Interdisciplinary Studies
The B.A. in Liberal Studies is unique to Marymount in that students complete two areas of study instead of electing a single major. The program provides a broad general education in the Arts and the opportunity to gain knowledge in two major fields, designated as concentrations. Concentration options are:
- Biology/Physical Sciences
- Behavioral Science
- Business and related fields
- Communication
- English
- Fine and Applied Arts
- Gender and Society
- Graphic Design
- History
- Humanities
- Information Technology
- Mathematics
- Philosophy/Religious Studies/Theology
- Politics
- Psychology/Sociology/Criminal Justice
- Other concentrations are considered.
Liberal Studies serves several populations:
- Entering students who wish to explore more than one area of competency
- Students currently enrolled at Marymount in other disciplines who wish to change their majors because of new interests or whose progress in their major has met with obstacles
- Transfer and non-traditional students and working adults with previously earned college credit and/or full-time work experience who wish to maximize the credits taken elsewhere and complete their degree efficaciously
- In a broad sense, the program functions as a degree completion program for students who wish to utilize as fully as possible credits earned to date and obtain that long-anticipated degree. The program is also designed to prepare for entry to new fields, advancement in current employment, or graduate study.
