Overview

Liberal Arts at Winthrop University is designed for mature learners who seek intellectual stimulation within a broad framework of studies, mid-career adults who wish to expand and enhance their knowledge and skills, and recent university graduates who desire an innovative curriculum for building and deepening their reading, writing, and communication abilities.

The MLA degree is based on "The Search for Order," a theme that explores rational, intuitive, and empirical ways of knowing and learning. This approach, central to graduate liberal education across the country, is evident through the program at Winthrop.
