In 1974, Georgetown University pioneered one of the first Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Degree Programs in the United States for part-time night school students. The Doctor of Liberal Studies Degree Program followed in 2005. We have the largest M.A.L.S. Program in the country and the only D.L.S. Program in academia. Georgetown University Graduate Liberal Studies Degree Program students examine
academic, professional, and scientific matters in the context of issues and values that excite human thought and inform human action. Classes are interdisciplinary and exploratory. The Georgetown University Graduate Liberal Studies Degree Program is the longest existing degree program of the School of Continuing Studies. Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (M.A.L.S.) students select courses from fourteen curricular fields, one of which is Individualized Study, and complete the master’s degree in two or three years. Doctor of Liberal Studies (D.L.S.) students focus their course of study, personally and professionally, around a particular theme and complete the doctoral degree in six or seven years. Classes are held week nights and weekends to support working students’ busy lives and schedules. The Georgetown University Graduate Liberal Studies Degree Program faculty are chosen from three principal areas: University departments, University programs, and a general pool of University-affiliated professors with active careers in the arts, government, humanities, and sciences.
