A: The minors you choose to make your B.A. in Liberal Studies will depend on your personal interests and professional goals. You should plan on meeting with the Academic Advisor for Liberal Studies or with the Director of Liberal Studies to discuss your program as soon as you think you may want to do the Liberal Studies degree.

A: Up to one of your minors may be from outside the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, based on petition and approval by the Director of Liberal Studies and the Office of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. The minor in Global Business from the Bauer College of Business is pre-approved for inclusion in a Liberal Studies degree. Other minors from the colleges of Business, Education, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, or Technology, for instance, are eligible for inclusion, based on petition as indicated.

A: Students may use one minor from an inter-disciplinary program, such as Women′s Studies, African American Studies, Hispanic Studies, etc. (i.e. programs that do not offer majors) with the condition, that applies in all cases, that credits from that minor may not be used to satisfy requirements in either of their two other minors.

A: The possibilities depend only on you and your goals. You can combine minors in History, English and Classics for instance for a well-rounded Humanities degree. You could combine Anthropology, Sociology and Psychology for a powerful social science orientation. You could combine Political Science, History, and Classics, or, perhaps English, Economics, and Philosophy as great pre-law degrees. Or how about History, Political Science, and Economics for going into secondary education in social studies? Or if you want to go into secondary foreign language instruction, you might choose German, French, and English or History. With the option of using a minor from outside of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the sky is really the limit on tailoring a degree to compliment your goals. With all these options, you should work closely with the Liberal Studies Academic Advisor and with the Liberal Studies Director, as well as with the Academic Advisors in your three minor programs

A: The trend of many MBA programs, here at UH and across the country, is in favor of incoming students with a well-rounded Liberal Arts education. The first year of MBA studies at many schools provide all the foundation in Economics and Accounting that the degree requires. Be sure to check with the specific MBA program you have in mind for their particular entrance requirements and preferences.
