Deciding to go through Wake Forest’s Liberal Studies Program is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in terms of my adult education and personal growth.
The program’s structure and flexibility allowed me to concentrate my studies in areas of the most interest to me—writing and religion—while giving me the freedom to explore topics such as Italian opera. I found myself challenged not just by the professors and course content, but by my classmates, whose varied educational backgrounds and experiences added much to discussions.
I was surprised to discover that the most valuable part of the MALS program was the process of writing my thesis. I had an excellent adviser in novelist Julie Edelson, who provided expert guidance and editing. That final project tested me as a thinker and writer, and I am extremely proud of the finished manuscript.
I would recommend the program to anyone looking to expand their minds and stretch themselves.
