What liberal arts programs does UConn offer for undergraduates?

UConn has a very broad set of undergraduate liberal arts options, mainly through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. That college includes majors across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, and interdisciplinary fields, so students have a lot more than just a few traditional liberal arts choices. If you are looking specifically at humanities and social sciences, UConn offers strong coverage in both, with many majors, minors, and research opportunities.

In the humanities, undergraduates can study subjects such as English, history, philosophy, linguistics, journalism, and several world languages and cultures, including classics, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and others. There are also area-based and interdisciplinary options like American studies, Africana studies, Asian and Asian American studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies.

In the social sciences, UConn offers majors such as economics, political science, psychology, sociology, anthropology, geography, and human development and family sciences. Students interested in public life or policy-related work often look at political science, economics, urban and community studies, or human rights-related coursework.

Because UConn is a large public university, one advantage is breadth. Students can combine a liberal arts major with other interests through double majors, minors, honors, language study, undergraduate research, and study abroad.
