Are you the sort of person who sees the world from multiple perspectives? Do you wonder if you'll ever find others who want to know what the connections are between philosophy and science or art and political action or medicine and ethics? Do you need flexibility in your graduate plans?

The Master of Humanities and Master of Social Science programs (MHMSS) at the University of Colorado Denver welcome students whose interests are diverse, who want to look at ideas in varied modes. Both the MH and the MSS programs, offer students the opportunity to take courses from multiple disciplines at CU Denver and craft a study plan that bridges the traditional boundaries of a university's departments. Through this interdisciplinary curriculum they develop innovative thinking and special, critical and analytic skills to prepare them for a rapidly changing world.

Consider the Master of Humanities or Master of Social Science program at CU Denver: The best CU Denver offers, under one umbrella.

Why the Master of Arts in Humanities program at CU Denver?

 

Individually Tailored

The degree plan offers students the opportunity to individually tailor their studies to meet their needs and interests.

Unique Plan

In consultation with a faculty advisor, students develop a unique plan of studies by combining fields, such as History, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Film, Women's and Gender Studies, Public Policy, American Studies, Fine Arts, Sociology, Literature, Anthropology, Communications, Political Science, and Economics.

Flexible Program

Our degree programs are designed for part-time or full time students whose professional and personal obligations require a program that is flexible.

Interdisciplinary Research

While most colleges and universities are organized around traditional disciplines, academic institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary research in an emerging global economy and culture.

Intriguing Research

By approaching knowledge and learning through an interdisciplinary model, students integrate and synthesize the methods, tools, theories and concepts of diverse disciplines to tackle questions and research from new angles.

Synthesis

Bringing together sometimes disparate and contrasting disciplines, new possibilities for dialog and interaction arise that can address the complex questions and issues that characterize the world today.
