| The goal of this major is to provide the student with
a more comprehensive introduction to some of the core liberal arts and
sciences disciplines and aims at a greater integration of humanistic and
scientific ways of knowing. While this major is open to all students in
the traditional undergraduate program, it is particularly suited to students
intending to also major in elementary education since its primary focus
is the four key subject areas of the elementary curriculum: English, Social
Studies, Mathematics and the Sciences. In order to avoid course-scheduling
conflicts, students should declare this major prior to sophomore year.
