SFU Graduate Liberal Studies | Simon Fraser University

The Graduate Liberal Studies program offered by Simon Fraser University is an interdisciplinary program leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. It addresses some of the great works of our intellectual and artistic heritage, studies the perennial concerns that have shaped our culture, and explores contemporary perspectives on traditional ideas and values.

Join the department of Graduate Liberal Studies at Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre, for an Open House to explore the program on January 14, February 11, or March 25th, 2010 at 6:30 p.m, in Room 2400, Harbour Centre.

The program is for individuals who wish to expand their intellectual horizons through graduate level study in an atmosphere that is cooperative, respectful and challenging. The program differs from conventional graduate programs in three ways:

1. The focus is on breadth of learning, integrating knowledge from many of the traditional disciplines in order to provide an intellectual grounding in ideas and values that have shaped our culture.

2. The program is designed for the working adult, the part-time student. Seminars are scheduled during evening and weekend hours, and the degree can be completed over a period of years.

3. The program emphasizes a community of inquiry and discussion in addition to independent research. Liberal Studies seminars, designed especially for the program, are typically available only to Liberal Studies students.
