Questions About the Liberal Studies Program

Note: All students, whether native or transfer, must complete the Liberal Studies Program (LSP). The Department of History of Art and Architecture cannot waive these requirements or authorize substitutions. Some requirements may be fulfilled by Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) or transfer credits. Students in special circumstances may request course substitutions or waivers by completing an Exception Policies for LSP, but substitutions and waivers are not automatic and should not be expected. For more on the Liberal Studies Program, see the Liberal Studies Program website. Students participating in the Honors Program do not participate in the Liberal Studies Program. Honors students should direct any questions regarding the Liberal Studies Program to their Honors Program advisor.
