Department Information

Graduate liberal studies education allows each student the intellectual and personal freedom to chart his or her own self-directed course to a master’s degree, advanced certificate, and/or doctoral degree without the typical constraints or requirements of a traditional graduate program. Students are encouraged to cultivate their own passions with the opportunity to personally distinguish themselves personally and professionally to make greater contributions to society.
