The Environmental Humanities Program offers either an MA or an MS; choose the degree when students apply to the Program. The primary distinction between the two Master's degrees offered by the Program is that the Master of Arts degree requires standard proficiency in an approved language, while the Master of Science degree requires students to complete three research methods courses approved by the EH Director of Graduate Studies.

  • MA - students may enter the Program with standard language proficiency roughly equivalent to one year's college study of a foreign language, or learn a new language while you're enrolled in the Program. 
  • MS - Any course that uses a defined research method to create an original product counts toward our requirement. Methods courses span the catalog. Since the students' interests are varied, they do not publish a set list of courses that count toward the requirement.
