MA in Liberal Studies Learner-Designed Area of Study

The learner-designed area of study (LDAS) enables you to choose the subject areas you are interested in to create your customized academically robust learning activities. Develop a coherent plan of study in the liberal arts that can link directly to your final Capstone project.

Complete your learner-designed area of study in several ways:

  • Take additional online graduate courses from Thomas Edison State University
  • Apply up to 12 credits of American Council on Education courses that have been evaluated at the graduate level
  • Develop a graduate-level Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) portfolio
  • Transfer up to 12 credits of graduate-level credit earned at other regionally accredited institutions
