Extended MA in Religion in New Haven United States | Yale University

The concentrated M.A.R. program provides an extended degree option for qualified students, enabling them to complete additional coursework over a third academic year. Available slots for the extended year are finalized each August/September, with the selection committee limited to filling only these predetermined openings while potentially maintaining a waitlist. The selection process may occur twice annually—once during fall and potentially again in spring. Applicants not chosen in the fall may reapply in spring (if vacancies remain), alongside new candidates who missed the fall application period. Third-year financial assistance will be restricted.
