Program Information

:

The Master of Humanities program in the College of Liberal Arts provides opportunities for interdisciplinary study for students who wish to pursue individually designed curricula in the humanities. Study leads to a Master of Humanities (M.Hum.) degree.

The range of possible programs of study is intentionally wide. A student might choose to study the role of music in African American culture or the status of women in American religion. Another student might study the interrelations of art and philosophy in modern German (or French) culture or the politics and rhetoric of Cicero. The only expectation is that students pursue an interdisciplinary program of study having a focus in the humanities.

Students are encouraged to participate in specialized programs available at the university. For example, students may design a Master of Humanities degree in conjunction with the Women’s Studies Program or the African and African American Studies Program. It is also possible for a student to receive a certificate in Women’s Studies in conjunction with a Master of Humanities degree. For more information on the Women’s Studies certificate, see the Women’s Studies Graduate Certificate Program.
