Our liberal studies program is for the individually-minded, creative student. It brings together disciplines, integrates inquiry and pioneers academic focus by opening new horizons of thought and understanding.
We provide integrated curriculum for our undergraduates with unique goals not necessarily met by more traditional majors.
Students synthesize an area of focus out of two or more areas of concentration, and in the spirit of the liberal arts, are exposed to a breadth and depth of research and coursework.
Our combination of breadth of study and precision of focus constitutes the heart of both the program and the Point Park University experience.
