The College of Liberal Arts also offers many courses in the arts, humanities, and social sciences that are of value to all students and are integral to a liberal education. Such courses help students in their personal development, critical thinking, and enrichment through a deeper understanding of themselves, the world around them and appreciation of human cultural development.

Pre-Law Preparation
OSU provides opportunities for a complete and rigorous preparation for students interested in attending law school. Our accomplished graduates attend some of the finest schools in the nation.
Law school is one of the few professional schools that do not require a particular set of courses as a prerequisite for admission. Students may major in any subject. Students should choose a major that engages and challenges them, a course of study where they can excel. Students are advised to supplement their major courses with a diverse selection of classes that offer depth, rigor, and skill in three areas: written and oral communication, deductive reasoning and logic, and a general knowledge of the institutions and values of our society.
The College of Liberal Arts offers many effective and engaging ways to prepare for law school, rather than one single pre-law program. Students interested in law school should contact the Pre-Law Advisor.
Academic Advising
Mission Statement: The College of Liberal Arts' academic advising is a teaching and learning process dedicated to student success. Academic advising engages students in developing a plan to realize their educational, career and life goals.
Values Statement: The values associated with advising in the College of Liberal Arts are closely aligned with the stated values of the university.
- Accountability: We are committed to providing timely, accurate and intentional advising.
- Diversity: We honor the unique nature and interests of each student. Advising services and delivery methods will be shaped to fit the diverse needs of our campus populations.
- Respect: We seek to establish a reciprocal relationship with students based on an ethic of care and shared responsibility.
- Social Responsibility: We foster a culture of independent thinking and global awareness so that students make informed, socially responsible choices consistent with their academic, career and life goals.
- Integrity: We seek to engage students in a fair and professional process of meaningful self-reflection and authentic inquiry.
A liberal arts education involves exploration and broad study beyond one's major field. Students are encouraged to understand other cultures, other ways of knowing, and other fields of study. Students are also encouraged to take more courses in areas outside their major field to enhance their experience.
Liberal Arts students are required to satisfy four sets of requirements:
- Oregon State University Baccalaureate Core
- College of Liberal Arts Core (not required for BFA or BM degrees)
- BA or BS requirements
- Major program requirements
The University Baccalaureate Core requirements are explained in a separate section of the Catalog.
A single course cannot count towards all three of the Baccalaureate Core, CLA Core, and major requirements. However, a single course can count towards two of them (e.g., both Baccalaureate Core and major). Courses taken to satisfy the baccalaureate core requirements or the liberal arts core may also be used to satisfy requirements for a minor.
Liberal Arts Core
The liberal arts core consists of five courses (at least 15 credits) as follows:
- Humanities (3): Critical examination of influential traditions and ideas as defined by major scholarly works (includes English literature; ethnic studies; film studies; foreign language and literatures, including culture; history; and philosophy).
- Fine Arts (3): Participation in or appreciation of different forms (includes art, music, theater, and creative writing in poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, or drama).
- Social Science (3): Scientific investigation and theory pertaining to human individuals, social groups, institutions, and ideologies (includes anthropology; economics; political science; psychology; sociology; women, gender, and sexuality studies; and selected geography courses).
- Nonwestern Culture (3): Study in any of the following areas focusing outside of Western culture—Africa, Asia, Russia, South America, Central America, Caribbean, Middle East, the Pacific, or Native North Americans.
- One additional course from one of the preceding four areas (3).
BA/BS Requirements
Nearly all liberal arts students graduate with either a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree.
- BA Requirement: Second-year proficiency in a second language, including ASL, at the college level with at least a C–.
- BS Requirement: A minimum 15-credit block of science and quantitative studies as follows:
- Any computer science (CS) course approved by the college or major school (3-4);
- Any course from the College of Science except math (MTH) or statistics (ST) (3-4); and
- Two math or statistics courses (6-8 credits). These can be SOC 316, ECON 329, ECON 423, ECON 424, ECON 427, PSY 298, or any course at the 200-level or above taught by MTH or ST.
Some CLA majors require specific courses to satisfy the BS degree requirements; students should consult their academic advisors for details. Courses used to satisfy the BS degree requirements may not also be used to satisfy baccalaureate core requirements.
Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Bachelor of Music (BM) degrees are offered by the School of Visual, Performing & Design Arts. BFA and BM degree requirements differ from those in other College of Liberal Arts programs. Students in the BFA degree program must complete the baccalaureate core and a minimum of 105 credits in art or digital communication arts. Students in the BM degree program must complete the baccalaureate core and the requirements of the Music Studies major.
Liberal Arts students are required to satisfy four sets of requirements:
- Oregon State University Baccalaureate Core
- College of Liberal Arts Core (not required for BFA or BM degrees)
- BA or BS requirements
- Major program requirements
The Liberal Arts Core consists of five courses (at least 15 credits) as follows:
- Humanities (3): Critical examination of influential traditions and ideas as defined by major scholarly works (includes English literature; ethnic studies; film studies; foreign language and literatures, including culture; history; and philosophy).
- Fine Arts (3): Participation in or appreciation of different forms (includes art, music, theater, and creative writing in poetry, fiction, or drama).
- Social Science (3): Scientific investigation and theory pertaining to human individuals, social groups, institutions, and ideologies (includes anthropology; economics; political science; psychology; sociology; women, gender, and sexuality studies; and selected geography courses).
- Nonwestern Culture (3): Study in any of the following areas focusing outside of Western culture—Africa, Asia, Russia, South America, Central America, Caribbean, Middle East, the Pacific, or Native North Americans.
- One additional course from one of the preceding four areas (3).
Below you will find a list of courses that will fulfill each section of our Liberal Arts Core. Students must take a minimum of 3 credits/1 course for each of the five Liberal Arts Core sections.
