Master of Arts in Global Humanities

Simon Fraser University

The Global Humanities MA Program is interdisciplinary and draws on the resources of faculty in many areas of the Arts and Social Sciences. It is, therefore, possible for the Master's student to create, in cooperation with the Global Humanities Graduate Program Committee (GPC), an individualized program of studies to suit their scholarly interests and goals.Successful applicants will enter the program in the fall term. With a sequenced combination of four courses and a thesis, students will complete the degree in 24 months.Graduate students in Global Humanities will construct a major thesis (60–80 pages) that: Interconnects sub-arguments in the form of chapters that, when taken as a whole, convincingly argue a distinct perspective on their chosen topic.
