Doctor of Liberal Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doctor of Liberal Studies degree (D.L.S.) is the first doctorate degree in Liberal Studies in the United States and Canada. Georgetown University in Washington, D.C was the first university in the world to offer the Doctorate in Liberal Studies degree. The Doctor of Liberal Studies degree is interdisciplinary in nature. Rather than pursue academic grounding and theoretical research in a specific discipline in order to create new knowledge, D.L.S. students synthesize existing knowledge from multiple disciplines in new and creative ways.1 The focus in this doctorate is upon individual students and their research area as described in their application. The Doctoral Thesis itself will synthesize and reconfigure existing knowledge in new ways, providing a substantive reinterpretation of the interaction of disciplines
