MALS is becoming MA in Interdisciplinary Studies
The MA in Liberal Studies program will now be known as the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies program. This change reflects current practices in the burgeoning field of Interdisciplinary Studies and keeps us in line with new programs that have developed over the last decade. It also reflects what all of our students learn to do so well: interdisciplinary thinking and interdisciplinary research.
