The program addresses the rapidly evolving demand for unique graduate study by promoting advanced scholarship that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

- Higher Education (administration or student services)
- Individualized
- Neuroethics
- Religion, Culture and Values
- Video-Based Production
- War and the Military in Society

Beginning fall 2011, MAIS will offer two new concentrations.
In addition to these concentrations, the MAIS program also offers students the opportunity to design their own individualized program to meet the special needs of their careers.
