The College offers both Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees. The BA degree programs are considered the more traditional Liberal Arts degrees. They provide a more thorough background in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. They also require students to develop proficiency (to the 12-credit level) in a single foreign language. The BS degree programs allow a more in-depth study within the major field and frequently involve additional quantification and/or natural science courses. For more information, refer to the Degree Requirements and Policy Statements.
