Master of Arts in Liberal Studies

Maine Studies Concentration

The Maine Studies program at the University of Maine offers a new concentration within the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. The major allows students to design an interdisciplinary study of Maine through classes in literature, history, folklore, Native American studies, Franco-American studies, women's studies, geology, geography, political science, and other disciplines. Students must complete 30 graduate credit hours in order to complete the MALS degree, and 15 of those credit hours must be Maine-related. Students will be able to complete most of the 30 hours required for this major using online and other distance technologies. Depending on the student's interests, it may be necessary to take one or more courses on campus in order to complete this degree.
