UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

The Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy operate on both the Oxford and Jackson campuses.

(Additional healthcare programs are available through the School of Applied Sciences on the Oxford campus.) Other than these exceptions, the schools above are on the Oxford campus.

B.A. in Liberal Arts

Description

The B.A. in liberal arts is a multidisciplinary degree program that allows students to select three minors, two of which must be within the College of Liberal Arts. Students create a flexible degree program that may fit academic or career interests more precisely than a traditional B.A. degree. In particular, students who anticipate graduate or professional study in an area that does not require a specific undergraduate specialty (business, law, or medicine, for example) may find this program especially well-suited to their needs and interests.

Minimum Total Credit Hours: 124

General Education Requirements

See the 'General Education/Core Curriculum' for the College of Liberal Arts.

Course Requirements

A B.A. with a major in liberal arts consists of three minors. Two of the selected minors must be from departments and programs within the College of Liberal Arts. Students must complete Spch 102 and at least 12 hours at the 300 level or higher in each of the selected minors.

Other Academic Requirements

Students must achieve a grade of C or better in each class in the selected minors. Six hours in each minor must be completed in residence.
