What makes Union’s M.A. in History & Culture program unique?

“The majority of the courses offered in the MA program are individualized with the precise course content determined by the student and instructor working together. Our small class sizes and individualized studies provides a very low student-teacher ratio allowing for mentoring relationships to develop between students and faculty. “

“

My professors allowed me the time away from studies to pursue my scholarly interests [a Fulbright-funded project in Montenegro], which speaks volumes about the commitment to both the philosophy and pedagogy of experiential learning for which I am grateful beyond any expression that I could ever fully convey. I have every confidence that upon emergence from my scholarly life cycle at Union, I will be fit to forge new discussions that will lead to a better understanding of who we are as human beings and the communal obligations we have, today, to achieve mutual respect and decency for the sake of future generations to come.
