Skidmore Master's Program
The Master’s Program offers students the chance to earn graduate degrees concentrating in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences. Working closely with faculty advisors, students design their own interdisciplinary programs of study, and pursue them primarily through 1-on-1 tutorials with Skidmore faculty. These self-determined degrees explore areas ranging from environmental studies, to arts administration, to organizational development, to women’s studies, to family counseling. Often, students’ programs take a unique approach to these areas, focusing on questions such as the nature of creativity, the role of women in religious art, or the sociological dimensions of mental illness. Students begin their studies with a one-week, introductory seminar on the Skidmore campus and continue their coursework while living in Saratoga—or while pursuing careers anywhere in the world. Graduates use their M.A. degrees to enter Ph.D. programs, professional schools, and those careers to which a graduate degree provides a prerequisite.
