So you could, if you chose, get an AA in Liberal Studies, a BA/BS in Liberal Studies, a MA/MS in Liberal Studies, and now............... Doctor of Liberal Studies | Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies I guess my only questions are WHY would you get this, and WHAT would you realistically do with it???
And there are schools that offer PhD's in Liberal Studies??? Had no idea on that one, either.... About Online Liberal Studies PhDs | eHow.com
I've looked into Georgetown's program. It seems like a doctorate for people who are intellectually curious but don't have academic aspirations, especially when their interests span multiple disciplines.
True. And I'd guess that something like this might have utility as an upgrade degree for community college instructors teaching humanities subjects. Edit: Tekman's post appeared right after mine, and from what he wrote, it looks like this thing is a lot more ambitious than I'd thought.
The program designs for high profile people, the acceptance rate is 9%. If you look at the program candidate yearly, only about 4 to 10 students. Most of them are experienced people, such as: - Lieutenant General in the Marine Corps - Chief Information Officer of Georgetown Law School - Retired Executive from U.S Postal Service - Distinguish Professor with Ph.D degree They are different specializations: American Studies Catholic Studies Classical Civilizations Ethics and the Professions Humanities Individualized Study International Affairs Islam and Muslim Christian Relations Literature and Society Medieval and Early Modern European Studies Religious Studies Social and Public Policy The Theory and Practice of American Democracy Visual Culture I guess if you work for the State Department, you can said that you have a Doctor of Liberal Studies in International Affairs. One of my professor at Georgetown University, Dr. Pablo Molina, earned his Doctor of Liberal Studies at Georgetown University with concentration in ethic in technology. While I worked on my Master at Georgetown, he told me that his dissertation was rejected 5 times.
