Graduate & Professional Study
The interdisciplinary research and writing skills built through the CLS contract and capstone essay prepare students well for graduate study across a range of fields.
Susan S. Goode School of Arts and Humanities
Comprehensive Liberal Studies
Department Chair: Dr. Loren Marquez
Comprehensive Liberal Studies is for students whose interests don't fit neatly into a single department. Rather than choosing from a fixed course list, CLS students design their own 44-hour program of study spanning three of the university's four academic schools, built around a clear intellectual theme they define themselves.
The major is governed by a formal contract negotiated with a faculty advisor and approved by the CLS Director — outlining the specific courses planned, the student's academic goals, and how the program satisfies oral communication and computer proficiency requirements. In the final semester, students write a reflective essay revisiting the goals laid out in their original declaration and exploring how those goals were realized over the course of the major.
Because the major is self-designed, it rewards students with a clear sense of purpose — whether that's a specific career goal, a research interest spanning multiple disciplines, or a course of study no single department offers on its own.
Requirements
CLS is a contract major: there is no fixed course list. Students design an individualized 44-hour program across three academic schools, in consultation with a faculty advisor and the CLS Director. The contract must include a course list, a declaration essay articulating the major's unifying theme, and a statement showing how oral communication and computer proficiency requirements will be met. The contract is approved by both the advisor and the CLS Director, and may be renegotiated if listed courses become unavailable. A reflective essay reviewing the major's goals and themes is required in the final semester, along with the final written project from the WES 300 seminar (whether or not WES 300 counts toward the major) for assessment purposes.
School Distribution
16 semester hours in each of two academic schools, and 12 semester hours in a third academic school
44 hrs total
Upper-Level Coursework
At least 24 of the 44 total hours must be at the 300/400 level, distributed across at least two academic schools
Departmental Limit
No more than half of the hours from any one school may be taken in the same department or discipline
Interdisciplinary (INST) Course
One INST course may be included, counted as either humanities or social sciences — not as natural sciences and mathematics
optional
Lab Science Requirement
At least one laboratory science course is required. If Brock School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is not one of the three schools in the contract, the lab science course may still be listed under any one of the schools chosen, with its credits counted toward that school's total.
4 hrs (within total)
General Education Note
English and foreign language courses used to satisfy core General Education requirements may not be included in the major; courses satisfying other General Education requirements may be included.
Total Hours Required
44
A 2.5 GPA in all courses included in the CLS major is required for graduation. Students must file a Declaration of Major at least two semesters before graduation.
Career Outcomes
Because CLS is self-designed, career paths vary as widely as the programs students build — the outcomes below reflect common directions rather than a single trajectory.
Nonprofit & Public Service
Students who design their CLS contract around social issues, policy, or community work often pursue careers in nonprofits, government, and public service.
Business & Communications
A self-directed program spanning multiple disciplines builds the adaptability and communication skills valued in business, marketing, and communications roles.
Education & Advocacy
Students who build their contract around education, social justice, or specific advocacy interests often pursue careers or further study in those fields directly.
