Associate Professor Lekatsas, Graduate Program Director, (516) 463-6553, cllbpl@hofstra.edu

The Master of Arts in Humanities is a cooperative program offered by the Department of Fine Arts, Art History and Humanities and the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages, which also utilizes the faculty expertise and course offerings of the departments of English, including American Literature and Creative Writing; History; Music; Philosophy; Sociology and Anthropology; as well as other disciplines of interest to the student. The program offers a unique opportunity to students interested in interdisciplinary studies. It is particularly rich in courses—notably in HUM 231-234 Interdisciplinary Studies series—that explore the relationship between the arts and literature, as well as the philosophical and historical movements and theories that shaped them. A research resource available to students who want to embark on cutting-edge scholarship in this area is the internationally recognized Weingrow Collection of Avant-Garde Art and Literature (artists’ books, foundation documents, first editions, periodicals, manuscripts, catalogues, objects, prints documenting the major art movements of the twentieth century). Students, as well as teachers, requiring an advanced degree in the liberal arts within a comparative context in the Humanities would be good candidates for this program.
