About the course

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies degree program (MALS) is primarily designed for adults seeking to enhance their general education in the liberal arts at the graduate level. It provides a flexible, multidisciplinary framework to accommodate the varied undergraduate backgrounds and personal interests that students bring to the program. The curriculum draws upon the full range of the liberal arts studies, including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences courses. The emphasis is on an interdisciplinary, liberal arts education rather than on specialized, single disciplinary study or professional training.

　　Getting a Masters of Arts in the interdisciplinary Liberal Studies degree allows graduate students to become critical and creative thinkers about a topic of their interest. This, in turn, prepares graduates to succeed and stand out from their peers in a wide variety of careers including management, human resources, law, university instruction, social justice, and sustainability among other vocations and additional graduate programs. In fact, what makes this degree unique and exciting is that it is limited only by the student?s interest: the topic you want to study. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
