Admission to Liberal Studies

Steps in the Proposal and Admission Process

1. Review the Liberal Studies Program website to determine if the Individualized Major is the right major for you.
   Email the program advisor, Matt Church, with any initial questions you may have: matthew.church@louisville.edu

2. E-mail a short memo to Dr. Elpidorou, director of Liberal Studies (preliminary approval) - andreas.elpidorou@louisville.edu
   In this memo, you should verify the completion of 45 college-credit hours and a cumulative gpa of 2.0. Also, indicate your:

   • intended goal/career ( what you might already be doing or pursuing)

   • proposed title of your self-designed major

   • areas or "blocks" of study you want to put into your curriculum

   Dr. Elpidorou or the Liberal Studies advisor will notify you of preliminary approval.  Remember that your e-mail from Dr. Elpidorou only provides preliminary approval to receive advising as a candidate for an Individualized Major.

3. Begin the rough draft of your proposal's narrative.

4. Meet with the Liberal Studies advisor Matt Church (matthew.church@louisville.edu) to review your draft and complete your curriculum plan.

5. Finalize proposal and schedule meeting with Dr. Elpidorou.
