The Master of Arts degree in Liberal Studies is a multidisciplinary program designed especially for part-time adult learners.  Because many adults find traditional continuing education programs unrewarding, MALS offers a challenging approach to graduate education in small, effective learning communities. Our flexible program allows students to take courses in multiple fields in order to achieve a truly interdisciplinary approach to knowledge. Honing the skills of communication, developing the powers of reflection and judgment, the program engages the imagination to enhance the student's potential for leadership.
