University of Chicago, Master of Arts Program in Humanities

Since 1892, the University of Chicago has welcomed scholars and students who are committed to creative inquiry that transforms how we interact with and understand the world. We pioneered the field of sociology. We discovered the structure of DNA and new species of dinosaurs. We were the first to calculate the speed of light, and we illuminated Mesopotamian civilization with the Assyrian Dictionary. More than 80 Nobel laureates, 16 percent of all recipients since the award was first given in 1901, have been associated with the University of Chicago, including eight currently on the faculty. University of Chicago's graduate and professional students have an unparalleled opportunity to work with a community that produces ideas consistently recognized for their impact on the world.
