July 3, 2020: Looking at the growing demand for Liberal Arts education among Indian students, Bennett University has announced the launch of BA Liberal Arts programme from the academic year 2020.

The major subjects include Psychology, Philosophy, Business Studies, Marketing, Journalism, Advertising & Public Relations, Economics, Political Science, English Literature and Finance.

Students are made to study wide range of foundation courses in the first year to strengthen their knowledge and build all-round skills such as oral and writing skills, critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills.
