George Mason University

The master of arts in interdisciplinary studies (MAIS) seeks to synthesize knowledge from several academic programs in the pursuit of gaining a more dynamic understanding of a given topic. The program addresses the rapidly evolving demand for unique graduate study by promoting advanced scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

MAIS offers eleven structured interdisciplinary concentrations:

 

Community college teaching	Neuroethics
Computational social science	Religion, culture and values
Energy and sustainability	Social entrepreneurship
Film and video studies	War and the military in society
Folklore studies	Women and gender studies
Higher education

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to these concentrations, the Individualized Studies concentration allows students to design their own individualized program to meet the special needs of their personal or professional objectives.
