The Liberal Studies B.S. degree at JWU Providence will equip you to examine issues from multiple perspectives and solve problems, all while exposing you to a well-rounded education in history, art, global studies and more. Critical and creative thinking leads to big ideas, and the effective communication skills you will develop can bring those ideas to life in any environment.

You will work closely with your faculty mentor to help shape and personalize your experience in this very flexible program.
