An undergraduate concentration in the Humanities is not a prerequisite for this Master's Degree Program. The Master of Arts Degree is offered as an external degree program for anyone presently holding a Bachelor's Degree, who prefers an individualized approach to advanced education rather than traditional classroom courses on college campuses. Achievement of the degree emphasizes independent study guided by qualified faculty. The Master of Arts in the Humanities conforms to standards of the California State University. Completion of the program will provide today's students with a broad understanding of western and non-western contributions to the Humanities, as well as with the background for further comparative study and expanded opportunity for cultural enrichment and new career directions.
