As described in the online course listing, there are offerings in art and architecture, contemporary issues, creative writing, economics, film studies, history, literature, math/science/technology, music, and philosophy. Knowledgeable members plan, develop, and present the courses and related field trips, workshops, and cultural and social events: LLI.wustl.edu.
Any graduate program should be an adventure for your mind. You should stretch yourself, learn new things about yourself and challenge what you know and what you think you know. A master’s degree from University College offers all that and more. Working alongside scholars and professors from Washington University, you can choose to earn your degree in a wide range of Programs-from the Masters of Arts in Human Resources Management to the Masters of Arts in International Affairs.
