The MA Program in Human Rights & the Arts offers a graduate-level two-year interdisciplinary curricular experience that takes stock of the growing encounter between human rights and the arts as fields of both academic knowledge and professional work.

Applicants are also encouraged to more broadly familiarize themselves with the OSUN Center for Human Rights & the Arts, where the MA Program is housed, and which facilitates a range of co-curricular and professional development opportunities for enrolled MA students.

Applications are due January 6, 2023. There is no application fee or any other costs associated with applying.

Ample need-based financial aid is available to cover tuition and other expenses.
