NASHVILLE, Tenn. –The Vanderbilt Master of Liberal Arts and Science Program, a graduate degree program for adult learners, is now accepting applications for the Spring 2007 Semester.
The MLAS program is designed for the working professional seeking to further their education as well as their personal development. The part-time program offers evening classes and a flexible interdisciplinary course of study. Students take one class per semester for nine semesters to earn a total of 27 hours for the master‘s degree.
