Welcome to the Department of Liberal Arts in the heart of Bangalore city! As one of the premier sites of Liberal studies based education, scholarship, professional and civic engagement in the country, we invite you to broaden your understanding of yourself and the world, engage with and work in the community, and learn from innovative faculty and staff.  

Deciding a path for oneself, and choosing what and where to study is one of the most crucial moments in one’s life - no matter when one begins their educational journey. Here, at the Department of Liberal Arts, we offer our students the option of choosing and tailoring their own degree from various thematic discipline based majors, minors, and skill based courses from across the social sciences, business studies, humanities, and interdisciplinary themes.

I am confident that, no matter the path you select, you will gain skills that will help you have a successful career and navigate our rapidly changing world - and steer it towards a sustainable future. That is because a Liberal Arts degree goes far beyond learning facts and figures - you will learn to contribute to the social, cultural and economic development of the society, fostering a life-long learning experience that nurtures commitment to civil society through an engaged and educated citizenry.
As a student in the Department of Liberal Arts, you will have the opportunity to learn essential life skills including creative and critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. But beyond that you will also engage in and benefit from experiential learning opportunities, internships, research, via our Global and National level Immersive Programs, study abroad trips, and Capstone projects (Industry Collaboration). Further, you also get to take part in our student organizations - Liberati and Echo - which actively works towards developing your potential as a leader and an executor.
Our classes are led by our faculty - who are scholars, practitioners, and experts in their fields. They are passionate about student learning and take a genuine interest in your success - thereby fostering an environment where you can ask big questions without fear, take different and multiple perspectives without hesitation, and collaborate on solutions to real-world challenges, with ease. As a result, you will develop a deep understanding of the human condition, cultivate empathy, and gain valuable insights into the diverse perspectives and cultures that shape our global society. But at the same time you will also be prepared to adapt to the present world, where computational thinking and digitization along with AI is transforming the economy, the job market, and how humans interact with each other.
At the same time - the Department of Liberal Arts - is also a great place to create lifelong friends, network with potential employers and our alumni, as well as enjoy the many cultural experiences one can have in our inclusive and plural space. We cannot wait for you to join us!
