The University of Oklahoma's College of Liberal Studies offers fully accredited, interdisciplinary Bachelor's and Master's degrees earned through a combination of seminars and independent study . Every once in a while we get requests for information about "on-line degree programs" or "off-campus degree programs". While we DO NOT offer an "on-line degree program", our non-traditional "external degree programs" offer much of the same convenience. By spending a total of 35 days in on-campus seminars, students complete the majority of their degree studies while carrying out their home-based daily routines. 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 very mid-career educational opportunity you've been seeking. The MLS/ME is a curricular alternative within the framework of the basic MLS program which offers a non-traditional graduate degree. 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 with an individually designed subject area component. The program directors are museum professionals experienced both in museum administration and education. Students in the program represent museums from all over the country. They attend only three seminars at the University of Oklahoma campus: 1) MLS/ME Introductory Seminar (2 wks) 2) Colloquium (3 wks) 3) Advanced Seminar (2 wks). Their Directed Study component is supervise by OU faculty and the museology directors. The Advanced Study or thesis preparation is carried under the direction of an OU faculty committee in the studentUs chosen academic area of concentration. The next two MLS/ME Introductory Seminars are: March 20-30, 1995 October 23-November 2, 1995 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.
