Master of Liberal Studies with a concentration in Military
and Strategic Studies:
The Masters of Liberal Studies (MLS), a thirty (30) hour program at Washburn
University offers courses and academic experiences which are interdisciplinary
in na- ture. It offers an alternative to specialized technical and applied
programs. The Military and Strategic program of the School of Applied
Studies is one of the di- visions available to students in the MLS program.
The Military and Strategic Studies program will offer a number of 300/500
level courses available for MLS students.
An Individualized Study Program of fifteen (15) hours will be constructed
with an advisor that goes beyond their undergraduate experience. It must
have a clear rationale, and it must include course work from at least
two divisions. Approval must be granted by the MLS committee.
The MLS also requires twelve (12) hours from the following Core Interdisciplinary
Seminars which will have a variety of sections available with their own
designations depending upon subject matter presented and taught by faculty
from two or more departments:
LS-500 Introduction to Graduate Research in Liberal Studies–REQUIRED
LS-401/501 Interdisciplinary Seminar in Humanities
LS-402/502 Interdisciplinary Seminar in the Social Sciences
LS-403/503 Interdisciplinary Seminar in the Natural Science
Students must take at least one seminar in each area. Each seminar will
offer 3 hours credit.
Students may take LS-401/501, LS-402/502, or LS 403/503 more than once,
though they will not be able to repeat a specific seminar section. Courses
will be cross-listed when faculty are in different divisions.
LS 490/590 Special Topic (1-6) is offered with the consent of the MLS
committee
Students are also required to complete LS-599: Capstone Experience.
