A degree in Arts and Sciences, often called the "Liberal Arts," offers personal enrichment and career direction. These degrees provide training in writing, speaking, problem-solving, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making: skills that are the building blocks of any career.
A liberal arts education broadens the perspective of its students and allows them to follow multiple paths over the course of their professional lives. It positions them for leadership roles and gives them the confidence to succeed in life.
Ursuline Arts and Sciences majors also have an outstanding record of acceptance into professional and graduate schools for medicine, dentistry, psychology, literature, law, education, and other fields.
