Is it possible to continue taking MALS courses after completing the program?

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program, in association with the Office of Professional and Continuing Studies, offers a Advanced Certificate in Liberal Studies (ACLS). Although the certificate's original purpose was to accommodate MALS alumni who wished to continue taking courses on a not-for-credit basis, anyone who holds a graduate degree, regardless of the field, may apply. For further information on application and fees, please visit http://www.pcs.udel.edu/enrichment/acls.html.

What is the MALS Student-Alumni Association?

In Spring 2008, a group of MALS students and graduates, with the assistance of faculty members, established the MALS Student-Alumni Association as a means of staying connected to the MALS program and to each other. Among other things, the Association disseminates information about UD programs and events of interest to its members, runs its own educational and social activities, and encourges increased enrollment in MALS. Association members also plan to inaugurate a quarterly newsletter and web presence to keep members informed of upcoming events, members' achievements, etc.

How do I contact the Student-Alumni Association Officers?

How do I become involved in the Association?

All MALS students and alumni belong to the Association and are eligible to participate in its activities. There are no dues, and each member determines his/her level of active involvement. In addition to participating in Association events, members are welcome to attend meetings of the executive board; dates will be listed in the quarterly update. Suggestions, questions, or comments are encouraged at any time and may be addressed to any of the officers.

How do I find out about lectures, social activities, and other opportunities?
