Our M.A. program blends technical and humanities courses, giving students the freedom to pursue diverse interests such as textual analysis, computational linguistics, historical or cultural research, and digital arts and media. Designed as a one-year full-time program, the University of Chicago's MA in Digital Studies of Language, Culture, and History welcomes applicants with a BA in humanities, arts, or history. No advanced computing or mathematics background is necessary. The College also provides undergraduate minor and combined BA/MA options for enrolled students.
Applicants to our graduate and professional programs are expected to be enrolled in or to have completed a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited college or university. Applicants from a three-year bachelor’s program will be given due consideration. Because all of our programs feature competitive admission, no particular academic degree or background will guarantee admission to one of our graduate divisions.
