Why Literature?

As part of the Literature minor, you will study canonical texts and contemporary works in-depth and can even delve into producing your own literary texts. This minor is designed to initiate you into the diverse literatures of the world in order to sharpen your awareness of the imagination’s power to represent and shape human life and thought within and across cultural boundaries.

Why Liberal Arts?

Liberal Arts is not reserved for art students only. At AUBG, for example, we have a variety of majors and minors spanning from Business Administration to Computer Science, and we make sure that you get a solid understanding and in-depth knowledge in the field you choose to study. What differentiates Liberal Arts from other types of degrees, however, is that in addition to that, it gives you the freedom to explore, create, practice your skills and connect to others.
