Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) is an innovative educational philosophy that offers a distinctive approach to Bachelor-level education. Unlike traditional disciplinary study, LAS emphasizes a broad-based curriculum that integrates knowledge from diverse disciplines such as humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics. This interdisciplinary approach encourages critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills by challenging students to think across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Moreover, LAS programs offer students greater flexibility in their education, allowing them to explore their interests and passions. The curriculum is structured to provide students with a range of choices, enabling them to tailor their education to their individual needs and aspirations. This student-centered approach to learning encourages intellectual curiosity, personal growth, and a lifelong love of learning.
After the first LAS year, you can choose one of four Majors:
1) Culture and History
2) Governance
3) Life Sciences
4) Environmental and Sustainability Sciences
The type of degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) depends on choice of Major.
