MLA Academic Requirements

Here, there is something for everyone.

---

The Master of Liberal Arts program at TCU is designed to offer graduate-level education in the broad areas of liberal studies. It is a multidisciplinary, non-career oriented program that seeks to offer a wide range of educational opportunities to students of diverse educational backgrounds.

The intent of the program is to make available to all college graduates an opportunity to satisfy their intellectual curiosity and to broaden their knowledge.

 

Degree Requirements

---

The MLA degree requires successful completion of 30 hours of coursework. Only MLA courses will fulfill the requirements for the MLA degree.

Twelve of the 30 hours must be in MLA courses designated as "Perspectives on Society." Courses so designated will relate a liberal arts discipline to

1. 1. 1. issues of contemporary American society
      2. issues of culture or cultural diversity in America
      3. other world cultures and societies.

Important considerations:

• • • No thesis is required.
    • An average GPA of 2.75 is required for graduation.
    • Graduate students pursuing their MLA degree are expected to complete all requirements within a period of five years from the date of the earliest credit to be counted toward that degree including transfer credit. If this timeline cannot be met, an extension may be applied for.
    • While in-person classe are offered, most students may matriculate through the entire program electronically.
