Master of Liberal Arts Symposium

The Symposium offers a sampling of the diverse academic achievements of St. Edward's University's MLA graduating and current students. We invite you to attend all of the presentations, though you are certainly free to come and go to selected presentations as your schedule allows. The MLA program offers a rich variety of disciplines from which to choose allowing students to pursue their individual interests, as the presentations will show. Perhaps the symposium presentations will inspire you to follow your own direction of study through our Master of Liberal Arts.
