Multidisciplinary Programs of Study: Liberal Studies
The Liberal Studies degree program allows a student to design an individualized program of studies that forms a multidisciplinary major in an area not covered through one of Wesleyan’s existing majors. You can choose from one of three, pre-approved courses of study: Communication, American Studies, and International Studies. Students will then take a required liberal studies seminar and develop a program of study with a faculty sponsor.
Want a custom major? NCWU offers Liberal Arts students the chance to major in an Individualized Program of Study that fits their interests.

North Carolina Wesleyan University offers outstanding pre-health and pre-law professions curricula for those students who plan to apply for admission to professional programs such as law, medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, occupational therapy, optometry, podiatry, and nursing. There is no “one” major that is required for admissions to any professional school in the health professions. All professional schools have specific courses that they require for admission, and a student may major in many different potential majors as long as they take the courses that are required for admission to the professional schools in the specific field of interest.
