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.
