What is the Program of Liberal Studies? What can I do with a PLS degree?
Patrick Lee, PLS '23, elected Student Body President
PLS welcomes Professor Arman Schwartz
Maria Antoniak, PLS '11, is still asking questions
At the core of the Program of Liberal Studies are the six Great Books Seminars that begin in ancient Greece and end in mid-twentieth century America. Along the way, students and faculty read a range of texts from various disciplines and geographies that have been chosen for their depth of insight into human lives and societies, their moral and aesthetic value, and their historical influence.
