Every once in a while we get requests for information about "online degee
programs" or "off-campus degree programs".  While we DO NOT offer an
"online degree program", we do offer an "external degree program."
Students complete the majority of work at a distance from campus.  Perhaps
you could pass this information on if you cannot 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 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 which offers a nontraditional
graduate program.  The MLS/ME is not a professional museum studies program;
rather, it is an academic program which addresses common museology issues
and content from philosophical and theoretical perspectives.  It is
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 attend only
three seminars here at the University of Oklahoma campus as they progress
through the program:
1) MLS/ME INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR (2 WKS)
2) COLLOQUIUM (3 WKS)
3) ADVANCED SEMINAR (2 WKS).
Our next two MLS/ME Introductory Seminars are:

        October 23-November 2, 1995
        March 18-28, 1996

For more information about our program please feel free to call me
personally, Frank Rodriquez, Coordinator of Student Information, at
1-800-522-4389 or 405-325-1061.  I can answer your questions or send you
some literature.  Or of course feel free to send an EMAIL request with your
complete US Postal service mailing address and I will be glad to send you
the information.  We also have a World Wide Web site with our home page
address listed below.
