Letters, Arts, and Sciences is a multi-disciplinary, theme-oriented, and student-designed Liberal Arts major leading to a bachelors of arts degree. Students formulate a unique theme (a topic, idea, or issue they wish to explore). After thorough research and consultation with a Letters, Arts, and Sciences adviser, they design a program of study that investigates that theme from the viewpoint of at least three different subject areas. If you have thoroughly investigated the many majors at Penn State and believe that none of them address your particular academic interests, you may wish to design an individualized plan of study that consists of courses offered by various departments. To be a Letters, Arts, and Sciences students, you must have an interest in several fields rather than only one, and you must make a commitment in time and effort to design your own coherent plan of study. Liberal Arts advisers are available to assist you as you explore the many options available to you in the college. If, after your investigation of majors in the standard disciplines, you find that none can adequately meet your academic goals, you may be a candidate for Letters, Arts, and Sciences.
