Degree Title:	BA in Liberal Studies - Historical, Social, & Cultural Studies
College:	Union Institute & University
Description:	Adult learners are intensely curious about the world around them. How the economy really works, western and eastern religions, the breakup of the Soviet Union and the new states of central Asia, international terrorism, and history of the common person are some of the topics adults study in the undergraduate program. Some students are also deeply interested in events in which they may have personally participated, such as the Vietnam War or the Civil Rights Movement. In addition, many students are interested in what they can do to shape the future. The study of history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics are all relevant to these aims. Study in these areas also has direct application in professional fields. For example, the study of economics, history, sociology, and political science are crucial foundations for business and management, law, human services, and education.
