The liberal arts major consists of course requirements that provide breadth while at the same time allowing for concentrated study in a discipline of choice. Course requirements are as follows:
Students complete a concentration which includes 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 at least four of the six areas below for a total of at least 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 24 SH of 300-400 level courses. These 24 SH may include courses from the concentration, 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.
