Program Overview

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies at CCU is unlike most traditional graduate programs. Instead of being limited to courses in one specific field, MALS students - with guidance from the program coordinator - design an individualized curriculum that crosses disciplinary boundaries. Students might combine courses from various fields to study interdisciplinary topics such as arts administration, public humanities, American studies, Southern studies, digital history, and social/environmental justice - the possibilities are endless. No matter the specific topic of study, this program allows students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds to pursue their intellectual interests and career goals, while building skills in critical thinking, writing, and research in the humanities.

Designing your own graduate degree requires imagination, motivation, and an openness to new ideas. MALS students should expect to build connections between their focus of study and their personal and professional lives; to develop wider perspectives on the human condition; and to demonstrate advanced writing and research skills, as well as creative problem-solving strategies—the hallmarks of a liberal arts degree, and the most desired traits of the 21st-century workforce.
