Capstone Forum

Each year, selected graduating students in the Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) program of CGS present their Capstone projects at a Forum. This gives newcomers a chance to meet other students, faculty, and administrators and demonstrates the wide range of concentration areas within Penn's MLA program.

This year, the Capstone Forum will be held in Houston Hall's Bodek Lounge on Friday, May 21 at 5:30 p.m. For more information, please see the CGS web site: www.PennCGS.org.

The MLA program enables students to tailor their own curricula in the arts and sciences with the help of program advisors and faculty.  To make it possible for non-traditional students to earn master's degrees, the program offers graduate seminars with no prerequisites. These "dynamic and interactive" MLA courses meet in the evenings to accommodate students who work during the day, and they are typically reserved for MLA students. Class sizes are kept small in order to facilitate an intimate, collegial atmosphere. For information about the program, visit www.PennMLA.org. For an invitation to the Capstone Forum, visit  the CGS office at 3440 Market Street or call (215) 898-7326.
