The Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) program at Henderson State University provides graduate students with advanced liberal arts education which challenges the mind and invigorates the spirit. We offer advanced study to candidates from a variety of backgrounds in an accessible, flexible, interdisciplinary context. The program’s multiple tracks allow students to blend their particular interests, talents, and experiences to develop programs relevant to them, both personally and professionally. Our graduates possess the skills to pursue further graduate study—in Ph.D., Law, or MFA programs, for example—or otherwise advance in existing or new careers, including in community college-level teaching.
Henderson's MLA program offers a number of graduate assistantships, which provide tuition waivers and monthly stipends to candidates who teach and work on campus.
