Education for careers is indispensable in our society, but it often is not enough to satisfy the passions of "great and generous minds." For them, satisfaction comes only with explorations through the wide realm of ideas. Because intellectual curiosity does not cease upon completion of the baccalaureate degree or advanced specialized degrees, an increasing number of universities and colleges are offering graduate degree programs in liberal studies, which respond to the passion for learning of part-time, adult learners.

Graduate Liberal Studies Programs offer challenging interdisciplinary study to adults who work toward a master's degree while maintaining their careers. GLS students come from a wide range of education backgrounds and professions. Whatever their occupation, they share an intense love of learning, an active curiosity, and a desire for continued intellectual growth and challenge.
