    About

    The Graduate Liberal Studies (GLS) program is a flexible, self-designed master’s program grounded in the interdisciplinary liberal arts. With part- and full-time study available and courses offered fall, spring and summer, the program offers learners of all ages and backgrounds strong academic and professional development support and access to scholars and resources from across the university. The 30-unit program (9 courses and a master’s project) consists of interdisciplinary seminars developed specifically for this program, courses from other Graduate School departments, occasional study-abroad or study-away courses, and a final project that may take the form of academic research, applied research, or creative work. Students may also pursue graduate certificates in areas such as African and African-American Studies, International Development Policy, and Latin American Studies. The broad scope of the degree allows students to choose from a wide range of courses, creating a multidisciplinary experience that promotes intellectual development and is flexible enough to meet a variety of personal and professional educational goals.
