Home > Graduate Home > Master of Liberal Arts

The Master of Liberal Arts degree (M.L.A.) is designed to meet the needs of the student who wants an interdisciplinary, broad-based graduate education rather than specialization in a single discipline. This flexibility is appealing to a wide range of people who want an expanded liberal arts education and a better understanding of their heritage. Students may take a combination of courses in the Arts, Humanities and Christian Ministry.

The M.L.A. is an approved member of the Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs and is directed neither toward professional research nor toward the achievement of a doctorate.

Curriculum Overview

The 36-credit-hour curriculum is comprised of a nine-credit-hour interdisciplinary core with two options available for the completion of the remaining twenty-seven hours.

Core Courses (9 hours)

MALA 5300 Western Heritage and Christianity
MALA 5350 World Views: Human Beliefs/Human Actions
MALA 5370 Western Culture through the Arts
 


Option 1:
Interdisciplinary Track

Option 2: Single-discipline Track

Electives (9 hours)
