With our guidance, you build your own concentration, based on your interests, aspirations, and goals. Complete the program at your own pace, on your own terms. Your interdisciplinary MALS education broadens your horizons and cultivates skills valuable to employers – like thinking critically, communicating effectively, and synthesizing diverse perspectives.

About the School

Our college is home to critical thinkers and doers. We use interdisciplinary learning to bring unique perspectives and skills to industries around the world — and close to home.

Our diverse degree programs help students become skilled communicators who know how to ask questions, listen, and reason. Our alumni lead the charge of solving global problems. And our faculty are devoted educators and highly sought after thought leaders.

We’re a proud member of an NC State community that’s widely recognized for science, technology, engineering, and math. We strongly support advancing STEM skills. We also know that they alone can’t address the grand challenges of our time. The humanities and social sciences are essential to equipping communities with the knowledge that not only solves problems but also leads to productive and satisfying lives.
