Students will formulate a degree plan that reflects their academic and career goals. Courses for humanities credit must be approved by the humanities concentration director and the faculty advisory committee.

Both thesis and non-thesis options are available for completion of the degree. Students will develop a degree plan with the aid and approval of the program coordinator, the concentration director and a three-member faculty advisory committee composed of representatives from at least two different disciplines in the humanities. This committee will also serve to evaluate the thesis, portfolio or project. Knowledge of at least one foreign language or a tool subject acceptable to the Toulouse Graduate School is required for the Master of Arts degree.
