Degree Offered

M.A. - Humanities

Program Description:

The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities (MAPH) provides students with the opportunity to pursue graduate work in humanities in a variety of ways. Students take a two-week colloquium on humanistic writing, a core course on the foundations of interpretive theory, and a workshop that accompanies their writing of a thesis on a topic of their choosing under the guidance of a faculty adviser. They also design a curriculum of seven courses selected from the whole University of Chicago catalogue. The curricula of current students curricula run the gamut between the discipline-specific and the broadly interdisciplinary. Many graduates of the program have continued on into Ph.D. programs at outstanding universities, including the University of Chicago. Others have made careers in fields ranging from banking to museum curatorship to teaching.
