The
Within the
Graduate Program in Arts and Technology, most courses are offered under the
rubric of Arts and Technology (ATEC), but the degree plan also includes courses
in Aesthetic Studies (HUAS), History of Ideas (HUHI), and Studies in Literature
(HUSL).
Within the
Graduate Program in the Humanities, most courses are offered within the three
main areas of concentration: Aesthetic Studies (HUAS), History of Ideas (HUHI),
and Studies in Literature (HUSL), and students seeking the M.A. or Ph.D.
degrees in humanities must take courses in all three areas. The fourth area and
other courses, including core courses required of all students, are offered
under the rubric Humanities (HUMA).
Within the
Graduate Program in History, most courses are offered within History (HIST) and
History of Ideas (HUHI) but students may also take courses in Aesthetic Studies
(HUAS) and Studies in Literature (HUSL).
All our
graduate programs are designed to provide students a flexible,
interdisciplinary context within which to pursue a program of study built on
connections among specific courses and the areas of concentration. Offerings
include not only seminars stressing the interpretation and criticism of
specific works and issues but also ensembles, studios, and workshops in which
the activity of creation and/or performance becomes the primary means of
learning.
The School
of Arts & Humanities provides specialized facilities for academic research
and creative expression. The
The
University�s general admission requirements are discussed here.
Each
application is considered on its individual merits. Normally students applying
for admission to the Graduate Program in Arts and Technology should have a
previous academic degree (B.A. or B.S.) in an appropriate field (i.e., Art,
Computer Science), a grade point average of 3.3 (especially in upper-division
undergraduate work), and evidence of previous course work and/or expertise in
the creative arts and digital technology.
Normally
students applying for admission to the Graduate Program in Humanities should
have previous academic degrees (B.A. or M.A.) in arts and humanities fields and
a grade point average of 3.3 (especially in upper-division undergraduate or
graduate work).
Normally
students applying for admission to the Graduate Program in History should have
a previous degree (B.A. or B.S.) in history or related disciplines and a grade
point average of 3.3 (especially in upper-division undergraduate work).
The
Students can
pursue the graduate degrees in humanities on a full- or part-time basis.
Full-time students normally register for nine or more semester hours per term.
The school takes care to accommodate part-time study by scheduling both day and
night classes, thus allowing students flexibility in organizing individual
schedules.

Active
involvement in the process of artistic creation and performance is basic to the
design of the Aesthetic Studies area of concentration. Therefore, students
working in the Graduate Program in the Humanities at the M.A. level with an
emphasis on Aesthetic Studies are required to take at least one
ensemble/workshop, and those working toward a Ph.D. with an emphasis on this
area are required to take at least one additional ensemble/workshop. Students
undertaking creative projects for master�s portfolios or doctoral dissertations
must demonstrate their competency as artists by including in their degree plans
a minimum number of studios, ensembles, or workshops related to a proposed
medium: two for the M.A. and four for the Ph.D.
The research
interests of the faculty reflect the interdisciplinary mission of the School.
In addition to the research activities of individual faculty, five centers and
institutes that promote interdisciplinary research are located within the
School: The Center for Translation Studies; the Ackerman Center for Holocaust
Studies; the Confucius Institute; the Institute for Interactive Arts and
Engineering; and the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Museums. Since
the School combines the Humanities and the Arts, many faculty
are engaged in the creation and performance of artistic works in music, drama,
literature and the visual arts.
