The liberal arts major consists of course requirements that provide breadth while at the same time allows for concentrated study in a discipline of choice. Course requirements are satisfied as follows:

Students complete a minimum of 15 SH from a single department, of which at least 9 SH must be 300-400 level courses.

Students take courses in four of these six areas for a total of 12 SH; courses cannot duplicate those taken to complete the EMU Core.

  • Creative Arts
  • History
  • Literature
  • Mathematics
  • Natural Sciences
  • Social and Behavioral Sciences

Additionally, liberal arts majors are required to complete a total of 35 SH of 300-400 level courses. These 35 SH may include courses from the major, the EMU Core, and additional disciplines as chosen. To achieve a broad liberal arts education, the student is expected to choose the remaining semester hours for degree requirements from a variety of disciplines.
