In addition to the conventional study programs, the university also oers new courses that are expected to open unexplored avenues for the students. One such program is the new B.A. in Liberal Arts, which is a three-year Bachelor's Degree program, rst of its kind in Assam and Northeast India. This could be a futuristic substitute for monochromatic B.A. programs existing in most Higher Education Institutions in India. Cotton University envisions itself as a pioneering National Educational Institute that oers Liberal Arts under a public education system, in accordance with the norms and regulations of the UGC. B.A. in Liberal Arts oers students the opportunity to study a broad range of subjects while developing specialized knowledge in their major discipline. It offers a better curricular exibility demolishing currently prevalent rigid boundaries in traditional B.A. degree. Students will take up foundation courses in the rst and second semesters of the program. A student will choose any four subjects as foundation courses from a given pool of diverse subjects across disciplines such as English, Economics, Mathematics, Political Science, Psychology, Philosophy, History, Education, Statistics, Sociology, Geography and Environmental Science. A degree in Liberal Arts would open up a plethora of career options and a student can branch out into di erent careers such as academics, managing foreign a airs and embassies, policy research and development, health care administration, social work, civil services, client servicing, marketing, banking and a lot more. With a Liberal Arts degree, a student can assume various roles such as translator/ interpreter, technical writer, economist, sociologist, psychologist, human resources specialist, Public Relations specialist and many more.
