Liberal Studies

The Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Studies is designed for students who have numerous credit hours but have not met the requirements for a major in an academic area. Military personnel and their dependents often fall under this category.   Not all academic departments offer this degree.  Among those that do, some specify courses they expect a student to complete.  Students who transfer credit hours to Tarleton from other institutions are encouraged to discuss their previous course work with their academic advisor to determine if the courses meet Tarleton’s requirements.
