The Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) program at The School of Professional Advancement promotes the development of skills in critical thinking, reading, writing, and oral communication. The MLA degree is awarded following the successful completion of ten graduate-level liberal arts courses. These must include at least two courses designated MLAR and the MLA Capstone course. The MLA Capstone allows students to critically and systematically integrate the knowledge gained in the program. Students may complete the Capstone Project or the Capstone Portfolio. Students work with the MLA Program Director to determine the best option for their learning goals. Both feature a seminar that serves as the 10th course in the MLA program. Students wishing to complete a master’s thesis are exempt from the Capstone requirement. Show less
