Q: I have a job and can 91è���� ’t attend classes during the day. Can I still complete the degree?
A: Absolutely! Most courses in the M.A. in Humanities degree are offered in the evening or through online formats. 

Q: I want to complete the degree completely online. Is that possible?
A: Yes, you can complete the degree online. You may not be able to do every concentration online, but the degree is available online.  

Q: I did not graduate with a 3.0 or higher 91è���� —can I qualify for the degree in another way?
A: Yes. While the College recommends a minimum 3.0 GPA for entrance into the MA, the degree also has a provisional status that allows a student to enroll in graduate classes in order to qualify for admission to the degree program. A student may be granted provisional status by the Program Director after a plan of action is developed which will assist the student to meet the entrance requirements of the program. If a student is granted provisional status, the student must first satisfactorily complete the educational plan approved by the program director with a GPA of 3.0 or higher before being officially admitted to the program.

Q: I see a course listing in Spanish 91è���� —but I 91è���� ’ve never studied those languages!
A: Graduate course offerings in Spanish Humanities are offered in translation 91è���� —meaning that they are open to any student who is matriculated in the graduate program. Prior knowledge of the language and culture are certainly helpful in these classes, but the texts will be studied in English, not the original language.
