What makes this major unique?
This major overlaps with our other math and science majors. What distinguishes Liberal Arts: Math & Science from these majors is its flexibility. A student has the ability to cater the classes they choose towards transferring to a particular program at a four-year institution. It is also an ideal major for students who want to explore various interests because flexibility in the curriculum allows students to take a variety of courses, resulting in a well-rounded background in reading, writing, science, and mathematics.
