Master of Liberal Arts Program
Imagine being able to design your own academic program, based on your big questions about life.
The interdisciplinary Master of Liberal Arts program at ACU was designed for anyone with a bachelor's, master's or even doctoral degree who wants to resume the "unfinished business" of a liberal education – the quest for knowledge about ourselves and our world.
What are you curious about? Ready to design your degree around those big questions? Contact us for more information or apply to our program today.

You will have the freedom to choose graduate-level classes in whatever interests you most, whether you want to learn more about the complexities of human nature with sociology and psychology classes, explore our purpose here with religion courses, or examine texts and creations through art, history and communication courses.
