A multi-disciplinary program of study (MPS), the B.S. in Business and Liberal Studies degree is a unique opportunity for students to stand out in a crowd by sharpening their competitive edge and demonstrating their ability to think analytically, critically, and creatively.
The impetus behind this degree was to help students, particularly those already in the work-force, increase the value and make meaning out of a liberal arts education by combining required courses in the general education curriculum with a focus on business courses and science and humanities electives.
Initially created for Jackson Laboratory employees, this program combines key elements of the B.S. Business Administration (IPS), B.S. Business and Professional Studies and B.S. Liberal Studies (IPS) degrees. Other businesses may want to consider this degree option for their employees.
The Program
The fundamental program requirement is that each student must complete an approved program of study having no fewer than 120-credit hours of college-level work that demonstrates a broad base in business and in liberal studies courses along with a full complement of general education courses.
Students in the B.S. Business and Liberal Studies degree will be able to meet the following program objectives:
