Liberal Studies (BLS) Specialization in Literature & Humanities

Humanities is the study of what makes us human—and that knowledge is more important than ever in the digital age. As the world confronts new challenges and the workplace takes new forms, humanities graduates have the creativity and analytical capacity to adapt and thrive.

21st Century Skills

The BLS curriculum promotes these skills using 21st Century tools in digital publishing, audio and video production, and networked knowledge. These skills are sought after in a broad range of professional fields, such as management, marketing, public relations, public safety, community and social services, education, nonprofits, the arts, and arts management.

A Broad Education

By giving students the opportunity to draw from a broad field of study, the BLS program prepares graduates to identify, define, and address problems in their families, careers, and communities.

In keeping with Barry University’s mission, BLS students also have the opportunity to identify, design, and participate in collaborative service projects within Barry University and the wider community.
