Liberal studies students choose one of ten areas of concentration: American Studies; Approaches to Modernity; Bioethics, Science, and Society; Film Studies; International Studies; Jewish Studies; Landmarks of Western Thought; Translation Studies; Urban Education; Women’s Studies. Students take two core courses in a chosen area and the, with the help of the adviser, they select appropriate courses from the offerings of the various doctoral and interdisciplinary programs at the Graduate School. A thesis completes the work for the 30 credit degree.
