New Master of Arts in Comparative Humanities at Brandeis

[David Powelstock]

Dear Colleagues,

I want to introduce a new Master of Arts program at Brandeis University. It
may be of particular interest to graduating seniors who wish to pursue
interests that span more than one discipline but might not feel ready to
apply to more specialized PhD programs. Details and links below.

All best wishes,

​David

We are writing to introduce you to the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences' newest program, the *Master of Arts in Comparative
Humanities*<http://www.brandeis.edu/programs/humanities>.
We hope that your undergraduate advisees or alumni who are looking for a
flexible master's program that encompasses 30 program
areas<http://www.brandeis.edu/programs/humanities/academics.html>in
the Humanities will consider applying to this dynamic program.

For your students who are seeking job enhancement or eventual doctoral
study, highlights of Brandeis' one-year, full time M.A. in Comparative
Humanities (M.A.C.H.) include:

   - *Flexible, interdisciplinary curriculum* that encourages
   cross-cultural and trans-regional work across 30 curricular areas and is
   tailored to students' interests;
   - *Individualized faculty mentorship* that capitalizes on Brandeis'
   close-knit community of scholars to advise students in curriculum selection
   and capstone project completion;
   - Located just outside of *Boston* with its world-renowned academic
   resources, internships, research, and career opportunities;
   - *Generous scholarships* are available. Most of our Master's students
   receive sizable scholarships in the form of merit- or need-based aid.

For more information on the Master's program, please visit the
Brandeis M.A.C.H.
website <http://www.brandeis.edu/programs/humanities> and the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences website <http://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/apply>for
the online application.

Thank you very much in advance for helping us to spread the news about the
new M.A.C.H. (Comparative Humanities) program. Should you - or your
students - have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
