UNC-Greensboro's Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (humanities concentration) will give you a thorough understanding of the humanities, the interconnections among them, and their relevance to individuals and to modern society. The humanities include those disciplines that study people—their ideas, their history, their literature, their artifacts, and their values. In your coursework you will investigate individual people in their solitude, life together in societies, and models of and for reality that constitute cultures. In some of your courses, you will tackle the big questions that have been the traditional province of the humanities such as, "What makes a life worth living?" Your coursework will encourage you to think critically and analytically, and will improve your written communication skills.

This online completion program is specifically designed for adult students who have earned a minimum of 60 hours of transferable credit at another institution. Course delivery is asynchronous and entirely online, enhanced by various interactive Internet-based learning applications and by streaming audio and video.
