The Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies is particularly appropriate for nontraditional students who are entering or reentering college after a long pause in their formal education. The two-year degree may be designed by the student, with the assistance of an academic advisor, to serve as a career development tool as well as preparation for upper-level study in a four-year degree program.

Non-business majors can apply no more than 25% of business coursework to their graduation requirements.
