One Major. Five Concentrations.
Our B.A. in Liberal Arts combines depth with breadth. Choose from five rigorous concentrations while exploring connections across disciplines. Study what you’re passionate about and discover how it connects to everything else.
Undergraduate Studies
See Our Concentrations
Environmental Studies
Confront the climate crisis. Understand how ecosystems and human communities intertwine, and learn about practical solutions that can help protect them both.
Humanities
Explore the deepest questions of human existence. Delve into philosophy, literature, art, and history across cultures to hone the critical thinking skills essential for understanding our complex world.
International Studies
Engage with the issues shaping our world. Analyze global conflicts, economic systems, and cultural movements to become the kind of leader who bridges divides and drives international change.
Life Sciences
Dive deep into the science of life. Conduct hands-on research in genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology to prepare for medical school, graduate study, or careers in fields ranging from biotech research to science education.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Investigate what makes humans tick. Use research methods from psychology, sociology, and economics to understand behavior, examine social inequities, and develop evidence-based approaches to community challenges.
Graduate studies for passionate educators
Our M.A. program in Educational Leadership and Societal Change prepares future leaders to confront injustice and transform educational systems through research and practice.

Committed to affordability
Students from families earning less than $90,000 pay no tuition, and generous aid is available at all income levels. We believe a Soka education should be accessible to talented students regardless of their financial background.

What to expect from life at Soka
Intercollegiate athletics
Our student-athletes develop resilience, teamwork, and discipline that serves them well in classroom discussions, research projects, and their future careers.
Learning beyond campus
Study abroad isn’t optional — it’s required. You’ll spend a semester immersed in a new culture, gaining a global perspective that changes how you approach every challenge.
Campus community
With fewer than 500 students, you’ll find your people through vibrant clubs, meaningful traditions, residential life, and campus events that bring our diverse community together
