Liberal Arts Curriculum (Core Courses)
The Foundation for Your Success
At Seton Hill, we want to prepare you for wherever your life takes you. The liberal arts courses required as part of all undergraduate degrees at Seton Hill ensure that you have a broad foundation of knowledge that will support you no matter which path forward you choose.
Many Liberal Arts Courses Also Count Toward Your Major
You will take 40-48 liberal arts credits (around 16 courses) as you earn your degree. (As courses required for your major will include liberal arts core curriculum courses, you won’t be taking 16 “extra” courses.) Your admission counselor and faculty advisor will assist you in choosing the courses that fulfill requirements for your major and the liberal arts core.
