Talk:Bachelor of Liberal Studies

The second paragraph refers to a "B.A. in Liberal Studies" - can someone clarify if there actually is a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree, or if this topic in in reference to a B.A with a concentration in "Liberal Studies" Ccg 1 18:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Response: I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from the College of Mount Saint Joseph in Cincinnati, Ohio (U.S.A.); as I understand, it is a Bachelor of Arts degree with the major (concentration) being that of Liberal Studies. The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies degree awarded from MSJ is, as I understand, a Liberal Arts and Science core with a Liberal Studies major.

St. Edward's University in Austin TX offers a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree with an assortment of majors, I belive that the students can develop their own major and course components - with consultation and approval of faculty/administration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.89.148 (talk) 03:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

My school offers a whole BLS department. They have fruity courses about communication - I'm taking one now and I still don't see the practical value of any of this in the least. Kuronue | Talk 04:00, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

A BA in Liberal Studies is what you make of it. Yes, you probably can get by with taking a bunch of fruity and worthless classes as stated in the post above but you can also, like myself, design your own curriculum with valuable courses in the Arts and Sciences as well as other disciplines that can translate into marketable skills. I know that the college where I graduated from requires the same Liberal Arts and Science core classes for ALL majors degrees and the courses of the individual majors are built around that core (so, even a BA in Liberal Studies with fruity courses from my college will still require you to take a solid core curriculum of Liberal Arts and Science college courses (as well as required algebra proficiency) but my college, The College of Mount Saint Joseph [[2]] is one of the better private colleges that doesn't just churn out degrees). Like I said, it is pretty much what you make of it and how you market yourself and what you need the degree to accomplish; for example, I know an unemployed dork who has a BA in Liberal Studies but in contrast Major General James Helmly (the Chief and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Reserves) [[3]] also holds a bachelor of arts in liberal studies. It is, just like life, what you make of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.0.187 (talk) 18:36, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Boston University's MET College [4] offers several Bachelor of Liberal Studies degrees - you can get a BLS in History, Art History, English and American Literature, Interdisciplinary Studies, or Philosophy. They do not seem to offer a BA - only BS and BLS degrees. WGPTrey (talk) 03:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)WGPTrey

A degree in Liberal Studies means you have absolutely no clue what you want to do and want to waste your parent's money. It really is useless since employers want to hire experts in their field of study and not people who are generalists. I know one person who graduated in History who has a job that has nothing to do with history. Another majored in Liberal Arts and her current job doesn't require liberal arts or even a college degree.Azn Clayjar (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
