SEIE Saturday Hybrid B.A. Liberal Studies @ SSU

This program offers an alternative route to completing a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies for working adults who have finished their lower-division coursework and whose schedules do not permit them to attend regular campus classes.

Hybrid program combines one full Saturday seminar per month on campus, with weekly online seminars.
Thematic readings on current issues allow students to share their understandings and work toward solutions.
Integrated assignments can be completed in your home or work settings.
Cohort model builds a strong learning community to support students throughout the program.

This two-year, 40-unit program is offered by SSU's Hutchins School of Liberal Studies in conjunction with the School of Extended and International Education. The Hutchins School does not believe that being educated consists of "knowing things." Rather, we believe that it consists of being able to think about the "things" that you know. And this involves being challenged, being confronted with other viewpoints, and being able to articulate your own changing understandings.

Most of the interesting questions do not stop short at disciplinary boundaries. By arranging our courses around major themes, we are able to juxtapose a variety of readings that illuminate one another, and jostle around in the mind. That jostling is what we call learning.
