Bachelor of Arts Degree

  • Four-year (i.e., eight semester) degree program.
  • Program choices
    • General B.A. (with a concentration or a Thematic Studies Option)
    • Major B.A. (with or without a Minor)
  • Upper-level courses in the following areas: Anthropology, Economics, English, Fine Arts, French, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology and Theatre
The General B.A. program provides a broad liberal arts education by combining a concentration in at least one discipline or thematic area with requirements that ensure a broad selection of courses. The Major programs (currently available in Economics, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Psychology and Sociology) allow students to focus specifically on courses in one area of study. All students in the B.A. program are exposed to a second language and to the process of scientific and formal reasoning. Within each program of study, however, there are a number of possible degree options. Thus, students have a good deal of freedom to design a B.A. program that suits their own individual needs.

Credit is currently available for courses in the following categories and subjects: Humanities (History, Modern Languages, English, Philosophy); Social Science (Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology); Creative & Performing Arts (Fine Arts, Theatre, Music); Science (Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Natural Resource Sciences, Physics); Business, Computing & Mathematics (Business Administration, Business Economics, Business Studies, Computing Science, Mathematics, Statistics).
