Liberal Studies is a common core curriculum required by all undergraduate students that includes subjects related to the humanities, arts, and sciences.
The Liberal Studies curriculum consists of a broad exploration of courses in English, mathematics, social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, the arts, and dimensions of wellness, preparing all of IUP's undergraduate students for success in work and life. In Liberal Studies courses, students pursue knowledge in these different areas, often learning to synthesize what they learn into a coherent whole that serves their life goals. Students will learn to communicate effectively; understand and respect a variety of cultures; develop critical thinking, problem solving, and reasoning skills; and become more self-aware.
