What is an MA in General Studies? This degree program usually involves interdisciplinary studies in which students choose their own learning paths, in consultation with academic advisors. The goal is to attain a comprehensive liberal arts education with coursework in rhetoric, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences.

A student in an MA in General Studies program may gain strong critical thinking skills, which are valuable in academia and in any workplace. From working with professors and fellow students from various disciplines, they also learn to collaborate well with each other and hone in on effective communication.
