Begun in 1996 as the Master of Liberal Studies (MLS) program, it was one of the first of its kind to organize the broad field of liberal studies around issues of sustainability and community life. SUS is an interdisciplinary program that enables students to create their own course of study to address their intellectual, ethical and practical concerns. All seek to learn how to better their communities and the world in unique and achievable ways. The SUS program at NAU cuts across many areas of study, including anthropology, the arts, business, humanities, economics, education, environmental science, history, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology, women's studies, technology, and the performing and studio arts. Students gain both depth and breadth in understanding issues important to sustaining community life by choosing from among our own courses and those from across the university. We have tailored the program to accommodate both students who wish to pursue full-time graduate study and those who prefer to attend on a part-time basis because of other professional and personal responsibilities. The program offer courses on a flexible schedule — including summers, evenings, and weekends. Graduates find a wide range of employers with an interest in sustainable community practices. An MLS degree also strengthens existing careers, complements professional training, and furthers personal development.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees If you have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting association, you are eligible to apply for admission to NAU as a graduate student.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1941  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 3967  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $570  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $13862  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
