MLS 620 Master of Liberal Studies Explorations
The MLS Explorations, a requirement within Metro State's MLS degree program, brings students and faculty together to explore topics of consequence that relate to a common theme. The MLS program requires an introductory seminar, MLS 600 that introduces students to graduate study and helps them formulate a focus in the MLS program. Students then complete at least three MLS 620 explorations that, with electives and a capstone, comprise their MLS program.
Note: Graduate students admitted to other Metro State programs may register for MLS 620, with the director's permission. Please see the Liberal Studies MA webpage for the director's contact information: https://www.metrostate.edu/academics/programs/liberal-studies-ma
