Doctor of Liberal Studies

Doctor of Liberal Studies degree candidates must earn 36 credits of coursework, pass both the written and oral sections of the comprehensive examinations, and successfully complete and defend a doctoral thesis, to earn the DLS degree. Six to nine hours of transfer credit or advanced standing may be awarded as determined by the Liberal Studies Director in consultation with the Director of Doctoral Studies. Such credits must be from graduate-level academic work acquired at Georgetown University or other approved universities. Of the 36 credits, 12 will come from four required foundational courses. Students may select the remaining 24 credits from Liberal Studies courses developed for the Doctor of Liberal Studies degree; other Liberal Studies courses; selected graduate courses from other departments at the University; and Directed Reading/Tutorial courses.
