Areas
of Concentration
An "area of concentration" might be thought of as
a miniature major within the Bachelor
of Liberal Studies program of study: a group
of five or six related courses, usually in a single
academic discipline. Any minor approved by
the University System of Georgia may serve as an
area of concentration in AASU's Bachelor of Liberal
Studies program. To determine current course
requirements for the minor, Liberal Studies students
should consult with a faculty advisor in the appropriate
department. Many of the more common areas
of concentration are listed below. Students
interested in pursuing an area of concentration
not listed here should consult with an advisor in
the Office of Liberal Studies.
