IntroductionWelcome to a new kind of program. One that looks beyond time and borders to explorethe fundamental questions of life, freedom, and governance. One that looks inward to theguiding principles of America’s founders and the leaders who have inspired us. One thatcombines classic works and altruistic statesmanship to develop a new kind of leader:trained in critical thought, humble about human imperfection, and ready for anything.Program DescriptionThe M.A. in Classical Liberal Education and Leadership (MCLE&L) prepares teachers, civicleaders, public servants, and concerned citizens to think about the challenges of our timewithin the broader context of the abiding human questions, as well as to consider thesequestions for their own sake. MCLE&L is an integrated, interdisciplinary course of studythat is student-learning centered, employing the Socratic method of classroom dialogue(rather than the large lecture hall model crafted for narrow specialization). MCLE&L isASU’s Lyceum, oriented to the classical, wholistic pursuit of knowledge captured in theAristotelian approach to education.The curriculum of MCLE&L includes philosophy, politics, literature, ethics, history,mathematics, and science. It combines theory and practice, ideas and application,incorporating inquiry about the good life with the practical challenge of leading others– nations, societies, and individuals – in the pursuit of a way of life that accords withthe precepts of justice and the ethos of humanity. If the latter requires the art of civicleadership, teaching this art is the task of “the cultivators of the human mind the teachersof the arts of life and the means of happiness.”As Aristotle taught, there is no substitute for doing the right thing in the right way. Thisis true in how we educate our children, live with our neighbors, and govern our nation.MCLE&L’s Lyceum aims to prepare the next generation’s “cultivators of the humanmind” and thoughtful civic leaders to meet the challenges ahead with foresight, integrity,prudence, and imagination.This manual, compiled by the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership(SCETL) Graduate Program Committee (GPC), is intended to serve as a guide toboth faculty and students in all matters relating to the SCETL graduate program. It is asupplement to the Graduate Catalog, and cannot fully be under stood without referenceto, and thorough familiarity with, that bulletin. Students should also be cognizant of thevarious deadlines established by the ASU Graduate College. The Graduate College webpage http://graduate.asu.edu is a useful additional source of information. This guide iskept as up to date as possible, but is always subject to change.5
