It specifically focuses on such themes of cultural formation as: humanity's purpose in the world; the values, traditions, mores, and belief systems that inform personal and corporate relationships; and the context within which communities function.

The MAIH offers either a more general humanities program or a more specialized focus in one of the disciplines in the program (with a thesis or non-thesis/major essay option). Because of our exceptional faculty, we offer many areas of focus within the overarching disciplines of history, English, and philosophy.
