The curriculum of the Faculty of Liberal Arts enables students to acquire a strong academic foundation and intellectual orientation before selecting a disciplinary major. During the first year, students develop their writing and analytic skills, and take introductory courses in a range of academic disciplines. In their sophomore year, students select one of three majors (Comparative Culture, International Business and Economics, or Social Studies) in which to concentrate. In the junior and senior years, students take advanced courses in their selected major as well as continuing to study in courses outside their major. Many students also take advantage of the many short-term and long-term study abroad programs to enrich their educational experience.
