Master of Liberal Studies Program

About the Master of Liberal Studies (MLSt) Program

The Master of Liberal Studies offers students interested in a multidisciplinary approach to human ideas and values an opportunity to expand their liberal arts background. The program is intended for students seeking a graduate degree that explores the integration of the humanities with political, religious, social and scientific questions within their cultural contexts. The program connects students to the entire College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and integrates the disciplines.

A Different Way of Learning

Unlike traditional graduate programs, such as an MBA or an MA in History, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is purposefully designed to move beyond the narrow confines of a single academic discipline. Instead of looking at the world through the limited lens of one single discipline (e.g., sociology), the MLSt closely matches the broader way we as adults learn on a daily basis; it provides us with many different lenses and ways to understand the world. MLSt students move among many different disciplines, synthesizing information and creating new connections in the process of learning.
