Fort Hays State University in Kansas has offered the Master of Liberal Studies (MLS) totally online for awhile. They are now offering several interesting concentrations, including Criminal Justice, English, History, Human Resource Management, and many others. Graduate tuition is among the cheapest I've seen for a RA school (about $300 per course last I checked). Info at: http://www.fhsu.edu/cids/mls_pages/mlsconcentration.htm Bruce
What's the difference between a MLS and a MA (or MLA)? Sometimes these degree titles are confusing? ------------------ Jonathan Liu http://www.geocities.com/liu_jonathan/distance.html
I've heard several explanations for different degree titles, all of which make sense to a certain extent. As far as MLA/MLS, my first reaction would be the title serves to differentiate DL from residential degrees, but Fort Hays also offers the MLS on-campus, and Texas Christian offers the MLA residentially, so I don't really know.

What is the difference between B.A. and A.B., M.A. and A.M.? Are they the same? 'A' is clearly not representing the 'Associate' here. I have noted that someone has shown A.B. (bachelor degree) and A.M. (master degree) in one's CV.
They're the same degree title, the A.B. and A.M. are the Latin abbreviations. You'll typically see Ivy League schools such as Harvard use the "backwards" designation. Bruce
