The MALS evening program affords students the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary studies at Northwestern University. Students may choose to focus their coursework in the following specializations: American studies, history, religious and ethical studies, or they may devise an independent plan of study. The MALS program is also continuing the celebration of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday through the upcoming 2009-2010 academic year with special courses on Science in Western Culture. Students can choose from courses such as Imagining the Scientific Revolution in the 17th Century, Darwin and the Victorian Crisis of Faith, a historiography course on Galileo, American Technology and Culture, and the history of art and science in the Renaissance and Baroque areas. The graduate program accommodates the busy schedules of part-time graduate students, while providing a rigorous academic experience. This interdisciplinary degree program offers courses year-round on both the Evanston and Chicago campuses of Northwestern University.
