The master of arts degree is a full-time program that offers solid grounding in feminist and gender theory, knowledge, and methodologies. It's flexible, too, so you can choose to specialize in one area, including one of our areas of strength: gender and legal studies, sexuality studies, social and public policy, comparative literature and culture. <br><br>You may also pursue a joint MA degree in another discipline: Anthropology, English, Near Eastern and Judaic Studies, Public Policy, Sociology, or Sustainable International Development. This can take one to two years, and requires completion of a research paper.<br><br>This degree option replaces a master's degree in the student's program. Students currently enrolled in an affiliated Brandeis PhD program may enroll in the joint MA at any time during their graduate studies with the approval of the joint MA graduate advisor in their home department. Prospective PhD students interested in pursuing the joint MA must apply directly to the PhD program through the home department, but should note their interest in the joint program in their statement of purpose.
