All students must fulfill the requirements of the university’s Liberal Studies program in order to graduate.
This involves a minimum of 43 credits, divided among Learning Skills, Knowledge Areas, Liberal Studies Electives, and Global and Multicultural Awareness. The number of semester hours may vary slightly, depending on student choices and programs of study. Note: different colleges, and sometimes departments within colleges, may have variations as to how these Liberal Studies requirements are to be met.
The pages below list the course options (i.e., those courses that are approved Liberal Studies Courses) and credit requirements for each component of the Liberal Studies program. To see a description of any of these courses, go to MyIUP.
For an overview of the program of study, please see the Summary of Liberal Studies Requirements. Specific course options and credit requirements can be viewed using the menu.
