Overview

Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary major that allows students to customize their education around their interests in a unique, personal manner. University of Houston degree program consists in the combination of three minors. Liberal Studies, or the study of the liberal arts, is an interdisciplinary approach to a well-rounded education. While this approach to education is widely believed to have been first developed in ancient Greece, it has informed education in many civilizations, from ancient to modern times. These "arts," or skills, have been called "liberal" because they are believed to be the educational foundation for all free, self-governing people (from the Latin word libertas, for liberty). Liberal Studies involves the study of pathbreaking ideas, critical perspectives, and research methods across academic disciplines and scholarly traditions, ranging from the arts and literature, to history and philosophy, to the social sciences, to the natural sciences. An interdisciplinary, liberal education offers students the reading, reasoning, and communication skills to thrive in a broad range of career contexts and to pursue life-long learning. Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary major that is satisfied by the combination of three minors, at least two in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Science (CLASS), with the possibility of one from any other college. Students can freely choose their minors and thus maximize their college experience without the academic restrictions of a single major.
