Requirements

Liberal Studies Core - 30-37 credits

The Liberal Studies Core gives a foundation in writing, language or quantitative skills, humanities, social science, natural science, and critical reflections. It draws upon lower-division courses in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Professional Competencies Core - 30 credits

(Mandatory for both programs of study.)

The Professional Competencies Core covers fundamental knowledge and abilities required in the modern workplace, such as ethics and critical thinking, problem solving, human relations, diversity and change management, budgeting and resource management, and teamwork. It draws upon courses from several schools and colleges: Arts and Sciences (philosophy, public affairs, sociology, and writing), Information Studies, Management, (accounting, finance, marketing, strategic human resources), and Visual and Performing Arts (communication and rhetorical studies). The Professional Competencies Core includes an introductory course, and a capstone experience required of all B.P.S. students. Designed to draw together issues from across the entire B.P.S. program, these courses summarize concepts covered in the curriculum and develop students’ skills in strategic decision-making that looks to the future.
