Liberal Studies offers a significant alternative to traditional degrees in a single discipline. It draws its rich content from the humanities, arts and sciences, and treats it in a way which brings out the connections between different disciplines.

In participatory seminars students develop skills in communication and critical thinking so prized in graduate school and in the professions of tomorrow (Vancouver Island University website).
