Liberal Arts Gateway (LAG)

Liberal Arts Gateway (LAG)

Liberal Arts Gateway (LAG) courses are designed to help students develop the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to succeed in college and beyond, no matter what pathway they choose. LAG courses are open to everyone.

Every LAG course is on the core curriculum and therefore found on most program maps. Visit our Course Offerings page for a list of LAG classes.

Liberal Arts Gateway courses put the student experience on center stage through engaging themes, interesting assignments, and course activities that invite you to contribute your perspective and aspirations. LAG courses build equity and inclusion from the ground up, and our professors help you learn skills not just for the next course, but for a lifetime of learning and leadership.
