Understanding Your Liberal Arts Degree

Butler offers two kinds of Liberal Arts degrees. You can slide toward the analytical side and earn an Associate of Science (AS) degree as you create chemical reactions, free your mind to physics and ponder plate tectonics. Or you can find the finer side of liberal studies and earn an Associate of Arts (AA) degree. On this artistic side you’ll leap into literature, contemplate poetry and evaluate ethics.
