Comparative Studies

Brigham Young University

Provo , United States

The Master of Arts degree in Comparative Studies allows for study of the humanities within a comparative context; that is, through interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives that permit a flexibility and breadth of study, without sacrificing rigor, not normally found in single-discipline graduate programs. Comparative Studies graduate students thus learn to combine the synthesizing and analytical skills of various humanistic disciplines in order to develop interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to the materials of human culture. Accordingly, program courses expand knowledge in humanistic disciplines, specifically Art History, Comparative Literature, Classical Studies, Humanities and other emphases such as Film and Philosophy, and provide intense opportunities to develop wide-ranging research and writing skills.
