The MALS evening program affords students the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary studies at Northwestern University. Students may choose to focus their coursework in the following specializations: American studies, history, religious and ethical studies, or they may devise an independent plan of study. The program accommodates the often-hectic schedules of part-time graduate students while providing a rigorous academic experience. This program offers courses year-round on both the Evanston and Chicago campuses of Northwestern University.
Each course is multidisciplinary in scope, bringing many perspectives and schools of thought to bear on a topic that might otherwise be taught from a single point of view. Each course also encourages students to develop their analytical, writing, and research skills. The faculty is drawn from a wide range of academic areas including: art history, classics, comparative literary studies, English, history, philosophy, political science, religion, sociology, and theater. Every faculty member shares a commitment to teaching and research and has experience working with non-traditional students. By offering intensive discussions on diverse subjects, the MALS program gives its students the skills to explore questions of time-proven concern and contemporary relevance. The program attracts a diverse student population, from accountants to entrepreneurs, from teachers to business managers. Since the program emphasizes critical thinking skills in a variety of contexts, the MALS degree is a valuable credential for any profession. Some students pursue the degree program to advance their careers, others to explore the humanities in greater depth, and still others to go on to advanced graduate study. For those whose interests extend beyond a narrowly focused degree, the MALS program provides a solid foundation for a career - or a calling.
