Liberal Arts/Management
(Bachelor of Science Degree)

The Liberal Arts/Management degree was designed to meet the growing need for management personnel who are equipped with the communication and critical-thinking skills of the Liberal Arts major. At Southern Vermont College, these two traditionally separate programs are combined to provide a strong starting point for many careers. The Professional Core provides students with adaptable technical and interpersonal skills. These courses provide experience with management concepts that are crucial to success in many areas of business, education, industry and the arts. In addition to the foundation in management, each student's choice among the traditional disciplines in the Liberal Arts helps define specific interests and talents. In this way, the Liberal Arts/Management degree program introduces students to important ideas and values that reach beyond technical skills.
