discusses why the liberal
arts matter today.
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) degree program is designed for working professionals interested in applying the rigorous study of the liberal arts to their chosen professions. Students may tailor their master's program to their profession or their interests by selecting an area of study focusing on Digital Humanities, Geropsychology, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Online Learning and Teaching or Professional Communications.
Each program focuses on the links between the liberal arts and a student's career, which enables them to gain specific competencies and perspectives that can make a difference in their career. The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is a 36-credit program.
