Angela Kayi, MALS Graduate and former MALS Graduate Assistant:
"The flexibility of the MALS program allowed me to really shape the coursework, combining different areas of study that I found fascinating. There are very few programs that allow you to explore very different disciplines and apply them to each other in this way. The program also exhibits very high standards and emphasizes the importance of effective oral and written communication."
