Bachelor of Science/Liberal Studies Major - Art Track
The Liberal Studies major is a unique major. It offers you the
opportunity not only to develop skills related to Art, but you also get

plans. It is a much more diverse major than traditional majors
and can provide you with better preparation for continued studies or
employment. It is
