April 23, 2024

On the 10th and 11th of April, the Liberal Arts and Sciences department at AUCA hosted a presentation showcasing the moderation of their concentrations. The moderation process in the LAS Department is a liberal arts methodology that helps students discover their interests in their first year freely and after choosing their future profession in their second year. There are currently 8 concentrations in LAS Department:
