About the Program
The Arts and Letters program's interdisciplinary structure recognizes that in the contemporary world, a thorough grounding in the humanities offers the necessary intellectual and personal development for individuals to stay informed.
The Arts and Letters program stresses a broad liberal arts education at the graduate level and takes as a guiding principle Henry Adams' belief that a valid education prepares a citizen to meet any emergency with economy and force. This program acknowledges the timely issues-and timeless speculations- emerging throughout the world.
