Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Arts - Liberal Studies

4-Year Bachelor's Degree

Program Summary

Program Description 

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but also includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive.

Liberal Studies gives students a diverse education grounded in the liberal arts. The multidisciplinary orientation of the major provides students with training in the social sciences, natural sciences, and fine arts and humanities. It allows students the flexibility to direct their own coursework while also offering the opportunity to supplement the intellectual breadth of the major with a more focused disciplinary minor or second major.

Specific skills developed within the Liberal Studies major include writing skills; quantitative reasoning and scientific literacy; and research and analytical skills. Majoring in Liberal Studies fosters critical thinking, the ability to approach complex problems from different perspectives, and the ability to communicate effectively. Finally, it provides a broader understanding of the world in which we live.
