What is Liberal Arts
A Liberal Arts degree allows you to combine courses in Philosophy and Data Science, Media and Mathematics, Law and Leadership and more. The Liberal Arts concept is based on the idea that today’s most complex problems can no longer be solved with a mono disciplinary approach. The Liberal Arts program allows students to design their own tailor-made Bachelor’s program according to their unique interests. In addition to preparing you for the Master’s program or job of your choice, the program also prepares you for being able to solve complex challenges in the future.

The phrase “Liberal Arts” derives from the Latin words ‘Liberales’ meaning ‘free’ and ‘Artes’ meaning ‘art or principled practice’. The program is a traditional academic program in Western higher education. A liberal arts education refers to that of a university education, rather than a practical course of study you can find in a vocational, professional or technical program.

Undergraduate research
Undergraduate research
At UCR, we emphasize undergraduate research, as we believe that studying is all about asking the right questions as well as having the methodological tools to answer them. This is a distinguishing feature of UCR and all of our students take a mandatory course in Personal and Professional Development. Additionally, students will be involved in research projects from their first semester onwards. Many of our former students have conducted original research, together with their professors, and presented the results at conferences or in academic journals.
