Overview

This Comparative Studies degree from Brigham Young University allows for study of the humanities within a comparative context not normally found in single-discipline graduate programs—that is, through interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives that permit a flexibility and breadth of study, without sacrificing rigor.

Accordingly, program courses expand knowledge in humanistic disciplines and provide intense opportunities to develop wide-ranging research and writing.

Students will develop mastery in a specific research area in one discipline within the humanistic tradition of intellectual and artistic creativity (e.g., literature, art history, philosophy, music, dance, film, etc.), enhanced by relevant interdisciplinary knowledge and skills.

Career

Students will produce scholarly writing in the form of a Master's thesis that demonstrates original scholarship and analysis as well as mastery of existing scholarship, the revision process, and oral presentation. Student theses are intended to be publishable and are often used as writing samples for PhD program applications.
