The MLA in Liberal Studies offers two “build-your-own” tracks.
In the Focused Studies track , students explore a particular subject from within the larger perspective of the liberal arts, earning 18 of the 33 required hours in a specific discipline. As part of their core requirements, students may take courses in pedagogy and education, theory, or research methods, which would enable them to teach at the community college level (with the 18hrs), continue on for the Ph.D., or work in areas related to their chosen field of study.
In the Interdisciplinary Studies track , students build their own unique degree from various disciplines (e.g., culture and the environment, ethics and the workplace, social justice and engagement, etc.) and related core requirements, preparing them for future study or professional careers in related areas, including work for non-profits and other businesses.
Students who do not meet this requirement must submit a GRE test score with at least a 153 or higher Verbal section (500 or higher if the test was taken prior to August 2011) and a 4.5 on the essay portion. The GRE must have been taken within the previous five years. The following alternate standardized tests, also taken within the previous five years, will be considered on a case-by-case basis: LSAT, GMAT, or MAT (at the discretion of the Graduate Admissions Committee).
Students may choose from one of two track options:
