Master of Arts in Liberal Studies
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA, ALM, MLA, MLS, or MALS) is a graduate degree that aims to provide both depth and breadth of study in the liberal arts. It is by nature an interdisciplinary program, generally pulling together coursework from a number disciplines such as behavioral sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences designed to train students to think critically and contextually about their own fields of discipline as well a diverse range of issues. Similar graduate degrees are known as ''Master of Liberal Arts'' (MLA), ''Master of Liberal Studies'' (MLS), ''Artium Liberalium Magister'' (ALM, or Art. Lib. Mgr.), ''Magister Artium Liberalium'' (Mgr. Art. Lib.), and ''Doctor of Liberal Studies'' (DLS). Characteristics that distinguish these degrees include curricular flexibility and interdisciplinary synthesis via a Master's thesis or capstone project.
Like other Master's degree programs, students generally enroll in a master's in liberal studies only after receiving a bachelor's degree. , there were over 130 colleges and universities offering liberal arts master's programs. Admissions criteria vary by institution.
Postgraduate liberal studies originated at Wesleyan University in 1953. Administrators sought to 'break graduate education free' from what they perceived as 'the bonds of overspecialization' that were then prevalent at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Europe. Initially aimed at professors and teachers, postgraduate liberal studies quickly gained popularity and became a ''cause célèbre'' during the progressive education movements of the 1960s. Then as now, Liberal Studies programs tend to draw courses and instructors from across a university's postgraduate curriculum. Students often devise unique courses of study to suit their individual interests, passion, and scholarly curiosity. Typically liberal arts graduate programs are designed to counter the trend in modern education toward specialization and toward a career focus, offering instead the opportunity to explore ideas, to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and learning for the joy of the intellectual challenge.〔(Association of Liberal Graduate Studies Programs )〕
