Learn to Think Critically With Your Liberal Studies Degree
The Liberal Studies B.S. degree at JWU Providence will equip you to examine issues from multiple perspectives and solve problems, all while exposing you to a well-rounded education in history, art, global studies and more. Critical and creative thinking leads to big ideas, and the effective communication skills you will develop can bring those ideas to life in any environment — especially in Providence. This small city offers a wide range of opportunities for internships and jobs that require the transferable skills you’ll learn in this program.
Providence Campus
JWU Providence is the university’s flagship campus, offering the best of both worlds with an urban Downcity campus in the heart of Rhode Island’s Creative Capital and a scenic Harborside campus overlooking Narragansett Bay.
You’ll be just steps from downtown restaurants, cafés, theaters, the Providence Performing Arts Center, Amica Mutual Pavilion and the city’s thriving arts and food scene — with Boston only about an hour away.
Providence offers unmatched access to internships, industry partnerships and hands-on learning.
I have a strong interest in history, philosophy and political science. Liberal Studies was the best fit to get what I wanted with the flexibility of the major. The program provided me with the skills and base knowledge I needed to get an internship with the Foundation of Post Conflict Development. I spent the summer of my junior year going to meetings at the United Nations in NYC, where I gained immeasurable and amazing experience.”
