Master of Liberal Studies

Expand Your Humanities Education with a Liberal Studies Master’s Degree.

Choose From Two Flexible Master of Liberal Studies Tracks

The M.L.S. is a 36-hour program designed for students who want to learn more about a variety of humanities fields but who do not need a thesis or any sort of education certificate. Since no thesis is required, the M.L.S. is not suitable for someone planning on going on toward a Ph.D. The M.L.S. is intentionally broad and diversified in its scope; students take a variety of courses from the different humanities departments (Art, English, Music, Communications, and History and Political Science). There are two track options for this degree. See the current online graduate catalog for more specific details.
