The Master of Liberal Arts program 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. The MLA degree requires successful completion of 30 hours of course work. No thesis is required.
Most students complete the program in two to three years.
However, it is possible to finish in less time with a heavier course load. An average GPA of 3.0 is required for graduation. The Master of Liberal Arts program is open to any person who holds a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, regardless of major academic emphasis or date of completion. If school of last attendance was TCU, the Office of Graduate studies will obtain your transcripts that are on file in the Registrar's Office. TCU is an equal opportunity university, and, as required by Title IX and other laws and regulations, does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, or ethnic origin.
