The Degree of MA (Humanities Computing) [Graduate]

Program Requirements

The MA in Humanities Computing program consists of ★12 in required courses in Humanities Computing, ★6 in options in Humanities Computing, and ★9 in courses approved by the students’ participating department in their area of specialization, in addition to a thesis. It is normally expected that students will take two Humanities Computing courses and one elective course (for example, one in their area of specialization) in each of the first three terms and complete their thesis in the fourth term. The required Humanities courses are HUCO 500 and HUCO 520 , usually offered in the Fall term, and HUCO 510 and HUCO 530 , usually offered in the Winter term. Note that successful progress through the program depends on satisfaction of both Humanities Computing and participating department requirements if combined with a specialization. If there is a specialization it is normally expected that a representative of both the Humanities Computing program and the participating department will sit on the thesis supervisory committee.

Length of the Program

The time required to complete the MA may vary according to the previous training of the applicant and the nature of research undertaken; however, the program is designed to be completed within 24 months.
