Findlay, Ohio, Dec. 18, 2001 —Students can now register for spring classes offered in the newest master’s degree program at The University of Findlay.

The master of arts in liberal studies program, which received approval from the Ohio Board of Regents in November 2001, is the University’s seventh master’s degree program.

The master of arts in liberal studies program is designed to provide lifelong learners with personal enrichment and professional enhancement through a flexible and interdisciplinary program of study in the humanities, fine arts and social sciences. Goals include allowing students to enhance their knowledge of culture, arts and the humanities by interacting, discussing, researching, presenting and experiencing relationships as emphasized and identified in each interdisciplinary seminar.

Students receive first-hand experience in the appreciation of culture and the arts by building an understanding through a variety of integrated field experiences. Students gain an in-depth knowledge of one major strength of liberal studies through the creation of a thesis or a final project.
