What exactly is a MLA degree?
The Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) is a 36-semester hour curriculum at Converse which emphasizes advanced study in a variety of liberal arts subject areas. Students take a concentration in one of the following disciplines: English, history, or political science. In addition to the 18-27 semester hours of coursework in the concentration area, students elect 6-15 hours of appropriate graduate-level coursework from other liberal arts disciplines. There is a three-semester hour capstone project which links the concentration area to other liberal arts courses in the program.
