Career Paths

Many graduates with this degree fit one of several profiles.

First, some students plan to go immediately on to graduate school, and have accumulated numerous credits from other institutions but haven’t completed their undergraduate degree. The Liberal Arts Studies program is often their quickest path to graduation and can get them moving on to that next educational goal: graduate school.

Second, some students work in an industry that they want to stay in and advance, but they need a bachelor’s degree (in any area of study) to advance. In some of these cases, the Liberal Arts degree is a perfect fit.

Another scenario is students who want to quickly earn a bachelor’s degree, and move on to Doane University’s Initial Teacher Certification program. This path prepares students to teach in elementary grades (K-6), in secondary grades (7-12 in an areas in which Doane endorses individuals) and in special education grades (K-12). Secondary endorsement areas include the sciences, mathematics, social sciences, English, language arts, foreign languages, and art (K-12).

Earn Work/Life Credit

Undergraduate students have the opportunity to document their prior learning from work/life experiences through a portfolio option. This gives students the ability to showcase their experiences by connecting their work/life experiences to the outcomes of formal education and curriculum. Portfolios are assessed and evaluated to allow as many as 30 credits to be earned and applied toward a degree program.
