Earn Your Degree...On Your Schedule

Critical thinking, writing and communication skills are essential to success in any field or endeavor. ASPIRE'S Liberal Studies major is designed to teach you those skills, along with offering you a broad education in the various areas of human endeavor and knowledge. While a Liberal Studies degree is practical if you plan to undertake a general exploration and understanding of various fields of study, it's also ideal if you wish to earn your teaching credential.

Five-Week Class Structure

ASPIRE'S unique class structure is designed to accommodate busy adults. You'll take one class at a time -- one night a week for 5 weeks, with each class designed to build on the knowledge gained in the previous class. In this way, you'll move through your degree program in a step-by-step, structured class schedule that allows you to focus your full attention on the material you need to know in your chosen field. It's a process that optimizes learning, leading to greater assimilation and stronger retention of the knowledge and tools you need to compete in the marketplace.
