Beeghly College of Liberal Arts, Social Sciences & Education

Well-Rounded Education, Well-Received Graduates.

A small liberal arts college within a larger university. A big school's resources with a small school's focus on personal attention. You'll receive the most from both worlds here.

Our liberal arts programs are pathways to careers. Don't believe it? Today’s employers seek graduates with superior communication, problem-solving and knowledge-integration skills. Those are the same skill sets that define a liberal arts major.

Our college offers a diverse array of degree paths that leave students with a variety of career paths to choose from.

The Bachelor of General Studies degree (BGS) provides an opportunity for students to select two areas of focus or concentration rather than focusing on one major which diversifies their education and skills. Focus areas or concentrations can be as broad or specific as the student desires. This allows for maximum flexibility to degree completion.
