Program Description

About the Master of Arts Program

Graduates of the Master of Arts program will be able to think, speak, read, and write about vital ideas in the humanities and the Western cultural tradition with confidence and sophistication, demonstrating intellectual maturity and initiative that can be applied to a range of future endeavors. The master’s program consists of 36 credit hours with emphasis in imaginative literature, natural science, philosophy and religion, and social science. In designing programs of study, students at Harrison Middleton University use primary sources drawn from leading academic publishers, including Britannica (Great Books of the Western World), Oxford University Press, Penguin Modern and Nonfiction Classics, and W.W. Norton & Company. This is a distance education program and students are never required to attend an on-campus class.
