A cross-disciplinary, 30-credit program leading to the master of arts degree, the liberal studies program offers a wide spectrum of courses in literature, history, philosophy, religion, psychology, childhood studies, criminal justice, sociology, and the arts.

The program offers small class sizes and classes during the late afternoon and evening.
