The Andrews University liberal arts curriculum seeks to challenge students by preparing them for an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Liberal Arts students will be required to keep a portfolio of work done during their education in order to demonstrate progress toward meeting learning objectives.

Why and for whom

  • Person with a broader interest than a single discipline
  • For those who switched majors
  • Fall-back for the capable student
  • More flexible than single-discipline degree
  • For affiliate campuses – only approved concentrations

Divided into two concentrations

  • Humanities
  • Interdisciplinary

Total Credits - 124


Concentration - 40-42


Humanities Concentration - 42

This concentration requires students to choose the equivalent of two 20-credit hour focus areas approved by the Andrews liberal arts advisory committee. At least 15 credits must be chosen from upper division courses.

Additional Requirements


The student must complete the Andrews Core Experience courses for a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Selection of courses is made in consultation with the academic advisor.

A minimum of 30 semester credits must be earned through Andrews University.

Additional Information

Restrictions on available concentrations for affiliate sites will be impacted by the terms and conditions of the specific affiliation agreement.
