The Master of Humanities program in the College of Liberal Arts offers interdisciplinary learning paths for students seeking customized humanities curricula, culminating in a Master of Humanities (MH) degree.
Focused on academic growth and intellectual enrichment, the program caters to various personal and professional aspirations. It's ideal for high school educators wanting content-focused graduate studies, individuals pursuing career shifts or post-retirement education, and those seeking complementary master's degrees. Students from specialized undergraduate backgrounds often appreciate this program's broad perspective. While part-time enrollment is common, full-time options exist.
Two foundational seminars introduce humanities research methods and scope. Working with the program director, students craft personalized study plans to achieve their academic objectives, blending humanities specialization with the College of Liberal Arts' extensive course offerings.
The program encourages diverse academic explorations. Potential studies might examine music's influence in African American communities or women's roles in American religious traditions. Other possibilities include analyzing art-philosophy connections in modern German/French culture or Cicero's political rhetoric. The key requirement is maintaining an interdisciplinary humanities focus.
While most students opt for the general interdisciplinary track, qualified candidates may specialize their Master of Humanities degree in areas like philosophy, religion, classics, visual arts, political science, or historical studies. Pre-designed study plans are available for concentrations in music history/theory, modern languages, gender studies, and African/African-American studies.
