9) Carefully chosen content in our graduate programs often contains mature elements like profanity, violence, nudity and scenes of sexual intimacy. We believe that this content reflects accuracy the condition of the fallen human race and that frank discussion of these elements is a necessary component of the development of the mind we consider to be at the graduate level of analysis and praxis. You will be expected to engage thoughtfully with this material.

​

10) If you are taking a reading masters (that is, your master of arts program has no writing component of any significant weight), the degree is considered terminal. If you wish to continue on with a doctorate program with a school in the system accredited by Open Latch, you will need to complete a 5-credit graduate-writing unit first. This unit is a stand-alone unit and can be completed at any time before one applies for a doctoral program.
