Master of Arts in Liberal Studies

With over four decades of success, Lehman College's School of Continuing and Professional Studies has a long tradition of serving adult students. Our Master of Arts in Liberal Studies offers students an innovative, flexible, and customizable path toward an interdisciplinary degree. We have helped thousands of professional adults complete their degrees, begin new careers, advance in their current fields, and achieve self-fulfillment.

The M.A. in Liberal Studies Program is an interdisciplinary 36-credit degree program that allows students to design and pursue an individualized course of study among several different departments at Lehman College.

Students take a 12-credit core of Liberal Studies courses and 18 credits of graduate electives from various departments. The final requirement is to write a Master's thesis or complete a capstone project under the supervision of a faculty adviser (students who choose the second option must take an additional three-credit elective).
