Humanities Programs
Humanities students have the flexibility to design their course of study, collaborating with faculty in all areas of the Bass School. Graduates from the doctoral program in the Humanities go on to pursue academic careers and futures in education, public service, nonprofit management, the arts, and more.
The Master of Arts in Humanities degree program is designed both for individuals wishing to enhance their knowledge and academic skills and for students intending to pursue a doctorate in a humanistic field. Students seeking the MA in Humanities may elect a professional option or a research option. Students with plans for doctoral study should choose the research option. The research option requires students to demonstrate proficiency in an approved foreign language and to complete a thesis.
Humanities
Humanities brings together scholars from history, philosophy, literature, creative writing, art history, film studies, and the performing arts committed to transnational and interdisciplinary humanistic study and practice approaches. Our graduate programs provide students with an interdisciplinary context to pursue research across all the arts and humanities.

Archaeologist, author, copywriter, curator, development director, editor, grant writer, high school teacher, human resources specialist, public relations manager, social worker, technical writer, travel agent
Student Organizations
The Bass Association of Graduate Students provides professional development and social networking opportunities for graduate students in the Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology. Each spring, this group hosts a graduate student conference called RAW.
RAW (“Research, Arts, and Writing”) provides graduate students the opportunity to share their work with their colleagues and professors in a formal conference setting.
