MA Civic Humanities and Twin Cities Archives

This MA is for people who want to work with Twin Cities public memory—city records, neighbourhood papers, labour and civic collections—without pretending Mltio runs the city’s official archive. You will practise documentary research, ethical quotation, and civic writing that can be cited. Minneapolis campus access to local collections is scheduled honestly; tuition-free online students work with digitised and remotely available holdings plus a methods standard that does not invent a second, easier MA. Capstones are documented inquiries, not unpublished novels. No fake municipal seals.

MA Community Health Education

Health promotion, program planning, and community partnership for public-health educators in local agencies, clinics and nonprofits. Non-clinical.

MA Creative Writing

Workshop-based fiction, memoir, and narrative non-fiction for aspiring authors.

MA Education Leadership

Prepare for headship, curriculum leadership, and education policy roles in schools, colleges, and NGOs worldwide.

MA Education Studies (Non-Licensure, Minnesota)

Mltio University's MA Education Studies (Non-Licensure, Minnesota) is for people who work around schools, campuses, and adult learning without seeking a classroom licence. Every public sentence will say this is not PELSB licensure and not a U.S. teacher licence. You will study Minnesota education policy as an institutional environment, design adult and dual-pathway learning, and write inquiry that does not impersonate a methods-of-teaching licence programme. Tuition-free online and Minneapolis campus share one standard. Capstones are education-studies projects, not student-teaching. Identity-checked assessment applies in both modes.

MA Fundraising & Development Leadership

Major gifts, campaigns, grants, donor data and the leadership of development teams for nonprofits, higher education and health systems.

MA Industrial-Organizational Psychology

Selection, performance, training, motivation and organizational development, grounded in research methods. Academic award; confers no clinical license.

MA International Relations

Analyse conflict, cooperation, and international institutions with a rigorous multidisciplinary curriculum.

MA Native Student Success and Research Ethics

This MA is for student-success, research-administration, and education-studies staff who work with Native students in Minnesota and neighbouring states and who need ethics literacy that is not a land-acknowledgement slide. Mltio University will not confer tribal citizenship, will not grant U.S. teacher licensure, and will not invent Native graphic identities for marketing. You will study data sovereignty, campus climate as operations, and research review as respect for nations—not as a branding exercise. Tuition-free online and Minneapolis campus share one standard. Capstones require ethical permissions; no extractive ‘story harvest’.

MA Organizational Communication (1 Year)

A one-year master's for internal communicators, HR business partners and team leads — change communication, employee engagement, facilitation and measurement.

12 months30 credits

PhD Higher Education Administration (U.S.)

Mltio University’s PhD Higher Education Administration (U.S.) is a research doctorate for people who will study how U.S. institutions actually run—credit hours, identity assurance, public information, and dual pathway—rather than collect a professional licence. Sixty credits over three to four years. Minneapolis campus and tuition-free online share one academic standard for doctoral assessment: proposal, identity-checked milestones, and a dissertation that can be defended. This PhD does not appoint you to HLC and does not add accreditation marks beyond Mltio’s published HLC and DEAC story. It is not PELSB or a superintendent credential.

3–4 years60 credits

Doctoral research in leadership, organizational change and workforce systems. Advanced methods coursework followed by an original dissertation supervised by published faculty.
