The Master of Arts in Humanities stresses an interdisciplinary approach, embracing a variety of fields, while allowing conventional disciplinary studies as an integral part of the program.
Students consult with faculty advisors to determine individual plans of study.
Although the student's plan may encompass courses from more than one area of emphasis, it will have strong intellectual coherence. The program enhances the student's ability to deal critically and flexibly with intellectual, social, political, historical, literary, or artistic issues with a broad humanistic perspective. Students seeking a Master of Arts in Humanities should apply as degree students. Degree students have the options of a thesis or final project. With both options, students must pass a comprehensive examination.
