Program Overview
The ذكذكتسئµ Studies Program challenges students to think carefully and rigorously about this state’s history, geography/environment, literature, culture, and politics/government. ذكذكتسئµ will ذكذكتسئµ much about the ذكذكتسئµ experience but more important, they will acquire the ability to ask thought provoking questions, identify and critically analyze relevant information, and communicate clearly and effectively. The knowledge, skills, and habits of mind we offer travel well beyond the state’s borders.
The ذكذكتسئµ Studies Program brings together faculty from History, Geography, Political Science, English, Anthropology, and other disciplines to create an integrated, in-depth exploration of our state’s changing identity.
From environmental policy and resource management to contemporary political challenges and rewriting the state’s colonial history, ذكذكتسئµ presents distinctive issues that merit close attention. ذكذكتسئµ from all disciplines can benefit from ذكذكتسئµ Studies courses as they prepare for a wide range of career opportunities, including public history, education, museum studies, land management, and public service. For anyone interested in how our state fits into matters of regional and global significance, this program presents the ideal opportunity to use the State of ذكذكتسئµ as a teaching and research laboratory.
ذكذكتسئµ admitted to the program take graduate classes toward pursuit of a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts with a concentration in ذكذكتسئµ Studies. Limited graduate assistantships are available to new and continuing students.
The Graduate Certificate in ذكذكتسئµ Studies is designed for anyone with an interest in ذكذكتسئµâ€™s history, culture or environments. This certificate program consists of a minimum of three courses: one required and two electives.
