Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs

The Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs (AGLSP) is is an international academic   organization of over 120 institutional members that share a common interest in graduate-level university-based liberal education.

History
The organization was founded in 1975, when scholars at Johns Hopkins University combined their Master of Liberal Arts programs with other universities across the United States. The AGLSP represents a broad cross-section of higher education -- from small liberal arts colleges to large, research-oriented universities in the public and private sectors.

The mission of the organization includes providing students and faculty with the breadth of knowledge acquired when divergent academic disciplines such as science and the humanities are combined in courses of study. One degree offered by the member institutions is the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. The organization is based in Duke University, and publishes Confluence (academic journal) twice a year.
