Programs Located in suite 211 of Solms Hall, the Office of Liberal Studies provides academic advisement for students in two degree programs: Associate of Arts (AA), and Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS). The office is staffed by a coordinator, Mrs. Peggy Clifton, and two student assistants. The primary mission of these two degree programs is to foster the ideals of a liberal education. The Associate of Arts degree program provides a substantial liberal arts education as a base for upper-division specialization. Most students who graduate from Armstrong with an Associate of Arts degree eventually go on to pursue a baccalaureate degree. AASU's Associate of Arts degree is also available through the Liberty Center in Hinesville, Georgia. For further information, call Dr. Joseph Weaver at (912) 877 1904. The Bachelor of Liberal Studies is a multi-disciplinary program emphasizing breadth of learning in the arts and sciences. It is designed primarily for mature students who have already established a career path and whose educational objectives are intellectual growth and personal enrichment. The Liberal Studies Program is also appropriate for students who plan to pursue graduate work in fields that encourage multi-disciplinary undergraduate study. Working closely with an advisor, the Liberal Studies student prepares an individual program of study that is consistent with his or her expectations. AASU's Bachelor of Liberal Studies is also available at the Liberty Center and at the University Center on the campus of the College of Coastal Georgia. For further information, call Brenda Taylor, interim director, at (912) 279 5717.  Advisement Advisement sessions for Liberal Studies students can be scheduled during the evening as well as during conventional weekday hours. To schedule an appointment, please call Peggy Clifton at (912) 344 2613, or send an e-mail to Peggy.Clifton@armstrong.edu.
