Every once in a while we get requests for information
about "online degee programs" or "off-campus
degree programs." While it's hard to help everyone
specifically, perhaps you could pass this information
on if you can't use it personally.
 
The University of Oklahoma's College of Liberal
Studies offers fully accredited Bachelor's and
Master's degrees which are earned mainly through
independent study.
 
For museum professionals, however, we offer a special
master's degree:  the Master of Liberal Studies
with Museum Emphasis.  If you are working in a museum,
gallery, historical society, zoo, or other museum-
related facility, the Master of Liberal Studies with
Museum Emphasis may offer the educational opportunity
you've been seeking.  The MLS/ME is a curricular alternative
within the framework of the basic MLS program.  It offers
a nontraditional graduate program for working professionals.
The MLS/ME is not a professional museum studies program;
rather, it is an academic program for active museum
professionals.  It addresses common museology issues and
content from philosophical and theoretical perspectives,
yet is again flexible, self-paced, and individually designed.
 
Our program consists mostly of non-traditional
students from all over the country and the world.
Almost all of our students work full time.
Most of the program is completed through independent
study.  Students spend only 1 to 3 weeks
a year at the University of Oklahoma
campus attending seminars as they progress
through the program. For more information please
call our Coordinator of Student Information, Frank
Rodriquez at 1-800-522-4389 or 405-325-1061. Frank
can answer questions or send you some literature.
Or of course feel free to send an EMAIL request and
I will be glad to send you the information.
 
Sincerely,
