Master of Liberal Studies

          "I wish I could find a program that I could complete during my free time."                    "I want a graduate education that I can readily apply to my workplace."                    "I want to enjoy my next degree and not feel pressured to compete with other students."                    "I don't have time to come to campus every week for classes, so my classes have to be designed for the distance learner."          

The Master of Liberal Studies (MLS) is a unique interdisciplinary graduate program available through the College of Arts and Sciences at FHSU. The program consists of a 10-hour core requirement, an 18-hour customized plan of study, and a 3-hour culminating experience for a total of 31 credit hours. The MLS is directed toward the non-traditional student seeking career enhancement or life enrichment through graduate liberal study. The MLS offers many students an opportunity to complete a graduate degree they would not be able to otherwise receive.

Students can quickly achieve results with an individualized graduate program of study. The plan may include on- and off-campus day and night courses, classes taken through the university's Virtual College, or a limited number of courses incorporated from other accredited graduate schools. Students should find the challenge of the MLS as rigorous as any other graduate program, and many of our classes are taught by core graduate faculty . Our MLS program offers one of the best programs for the cost, and with the many concentrations available, most students can find an area that fits their needs.

FHSU is proud to announce that on November 8, 2003, it was accepted as a Full Member of the Association for Graduate Liberal Studies Programs.
