Humanities - Duke University

Humanities from Duke University is a Campus Master Humanities degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Program Description The Masters of Arts Program in the Humanities is essentially a mechanism by which interested students can fashion a uniquely focused course of interdisciplinary graduate study. While there are no separate faculty or course offerings for the program, students have access to all members of the humanities graduate faculty and courses offered in 11 different humanities departments. Students frequently take courses as well in related social science areas, where these fit their particular intellectual interests. Individual programmatic foci can take any number of forms. Two recent students, for example, have shaped programs of study in Feminist Criticism and Women's Studies by bringing together courses offered Art History, Literature, English, History and Women's Studies; and study in Contemporary Critical Theory, with courses from Art History, Cultural Anthropology, Literature, and Philosophy. Students are free to propose a program that focuses on a given theme (e.g., Romanticism, Urbanism, Nationalism, Revolution), on a specific historical period (The Age of Constantine, The Reformation, The Enlightenment), or on a particular course of analysis (Cultural Studies, Film and Media Studies , Textual Studies). In most instances, then, the Program in the Humanities offers students the opportunity to develop an intellectual and research focus not otherwise available in any traditional graduate program. It therefore seeks students who are interested particularly in traversing a number of traditional fields, or who are interested in pursuing new approaches to traditional humanities subjects.
