The Program

Explore, Extend, Create

The Master of Liberal Studies Program is based on the premise that studying the great ideas of Western civilization leads to increased intellectual awareness and self-fulfillment. Students also explore how these ideas apply to the problems that humans have confronted over the ages, and they consider the moral dimensions of the contemporary issues that they address each day. They read great books to revisit ideas and insights that emerged centuries ago and to examine their relevance to our complex world. The program fosters analytical and critical thinking skills that enable individuals to comprehend issues that continue to challenge and perplex us.

Students must complete 12 courses, or the equivalent, for the Master of Liberal Studies degree: six core courses, five elective courses, the liberal studies seminar, and a graduate thesis project. This is equivalent to approximately 48 hours of graduate credit.

Most working adults earn the degree in three years. Unless an exception is granted, students must complete all the degree requirements within seven years of their formal admission to the program.
