BA in Liberal Studies Ways of Seeing and Knowing Concentration

MyPlan for a B. A. in Liberal Studies
with a Way of Seeing and Knowing Concentration

The Ways of Seeing and Knowing concentration is designed to enable the individual to look upon the world from multiple perspectives so as to appreciate its richness and diversity. We may be limited to our own two eyes in perceiving the world (our egocentric predicament), but by exploring ways of seeing and knowing, we can break out of our culturally-determined egocentric, ethnocentric and aristocentric limitations to understand and appreciate the world in all its complexity.
