Social Sciences Department
Lithuanian Studies Department
LCC students study more than just the theories and skills of their major program. All students take courses that cover the central subject areas of a liberal arts education. These courses develop the student's basic understanding of what it means to be a good citizen. They also address student competencies which identify core values that LCC expects its graduates to leave with:

As a truly international university, LCC has a long history of exchange programs. Each semester LCC hosts around 30 students from North America who bring a valuable perspective to the campus community. Also, since 2002 LCC has participated in the Erasmus exchange program within the European Union.
LCC is also known for its vibrant campus community. The university offers a wealth of activities, clubs and sporting events to round out students’ academic experience.

LCC embraces the philosophy of Liberal Arts, so that even if your major is Business Administration, you still have plenty of opportunities to get an insight into other fields and graduate with a pretty much versatile education in the end. For me, the courses that showed me the way to where I am now were Philosophy of Life and Learning and Language and Power, as well as the whole of my interest in sociology.
For me studying at LCC itself was more important than the particular major I chose. I might have chosen English or Psychology now, as that would be closer to what I’m concerned with at the moment. However, I don’t think that my overall LCC experience would have been radically different as a result, since I never saw it in terms of particular majors and numbers of credits.
Then, again, I understand business and economics as a part of contemporary culture and the modern experience in general, so in many cases I cannot speak about some cultural phenomenon without referring to particular economic mechanisms, marketing strategies, and so on, so knowledge of the subject is very helpful.
LCC was definitely the first place in my life where I was told about the importance of thinking critically. Besides, it was also the place where I started writing critical and acquired the confidence needed for public speaking. The funny thing is that while I still was at LCC I couldn’t imagine just how important and useful these competencies would prove to be in my future life!
At the moment, I mostly think of myself as an independent culture critic and commentator. My priority fields of activity are writing critical essays and speaking to various audiences. I also do a lot of freelance translation work for some major Lithuanian cultural institutions like the Contemporary Art Center and National Gallery of Art, both of which are located in Vilnius. Although somewhat different, these two spheres of my experience complement each other.
