The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) is a 30-credit, multidisciplinary degree for students seeking an alternative to traditional graduate courses of study that focus on professional training in a single area. The MALS program allows students to organize a program that is both personally interesting and professionally relevant. The program seeks to "liberate" in the classic sense of that term.

What makes the MALS program special? Students are able to pick and choose their courses from different disciplines to put together an individualized curriculum. Because of the flexible nature of the program, a MALS student is able to craft a Plan of Study that addresses the skills and knowledge areas related specifically to the requirements of the positions in which they are currently employed, or to meet the demands of future employment goals. By designing a course of study in this manner, MALS students benefit from an integrative educational experience that promotes a deeper understanding of self, nature and society, and offers opportunities to sharpen critical thinking and communication skills. The Brockport program focuses on significant ideas and contemporary issues from the perspectives of:

The Fine Arts
Humanities
Social and Natural Sciences
