Liberal Studies M.A. (LSMA) Programs

The Liberal Studies M.A. programs are administered by the Program Coordinator for Liberal Studies Programs and the Assistant Dean for M.A. Programs (housed in the LSMA Office in 109A Low Library) in conjunction with advisers and faculty committees in each program. The LSMA Office provides initial advice, keeps complete and confidential academic records, notifies the Graduate School of completion of degree requirements, reports to the Graduate School requests for transfers of graduate credit, leaves of absence, readmission, extensions of time, and probationary conditions for students in academic difficulty. It also engages in recruiting, manages admissions, conveys announcements to students, provides information regarding university and program procedures, advocates for students, serves as the liaison between programs and GSAS, and ensures that departmental practices and guidelines conform to GSAS and University policy.

Below are listed the disciplines within the Liberal Studies program.
