The UMF Liberal Studies program gives you the opportunity to pursue a general liberal arts education while also acquiring valuable career proficiency. Designed for maximum flexibility, it offers real-world skills and a broad-based liberal arts education designed to match the kinds of broad skill sets employers tell us they’re looking for in today’s college graduates.
The Liberal Studies program may be ideal if you’re a Transfer student or you’re returning to college after several years to complete your degree.
The Liberal Studies program also includes a required experiential learning component, in the form of either an internship or a capstone project, so you can earn credit for applying what you have studied to a real-world situation.
