Master of Arts [M.A] [Liberal Studies] From University of Memphis

Because each MALS student follows a unique course of study, students develop a proposal with the University College to create a program that satisfies both the interdisciplinary intent of the MALS program and the Graduate School's requirements for graduation.At the time of admission to the MALS program, the Graduate Coordinator approves the student's course of study as reflected on the Coordinated Study Grid that accompanies the application essay. 

Students then enroll each semester in available courses from the approved plan. Within two weeks after the start of the final semester students will submit a final program proposal that reiterates the student's academic goals (if necessary, reflecting any changes that have developed since admission) and identifies the Coordinated Study courses actually completed. 

Major deviations from the original approved plan require department pre-approval and will be addressed at the time of registration each semester
