Prepared to thrive

MSMU Humanities students are prepared to thrive in academic and professional settings after graduation. In fact, students become more competitive Ph.D. applicants by composing their capstone in the form of a thesis, project or manuscript.

Focus in a specific area

Students can explore a specific area of the human condition by pursuing a concentration in History, English, Cultural Studies or Creative Writing.

The classroom experience combines the knowledge of professors with the diverse commentary of my peers, which makes for fascinating discussions. The classes are small, interactive and allow time to present and build ideas.
