    Here's another question about CSU's programs.
    I'm set to start this spring at WNMU but am debating whether to transfer into a program that is more specific. I finished this December the BMS at UTEP.
    For those that have done the humanities MA, did anyone do the creative project option? (I don't plan on doing a Ph.D).
    I'm also investigating some fast track programs for the sole purpose that I need a JOB like yesterday and it's slim pickings. I've actually applied to about a dozen call centers and no luck.

    For reference: HUX Home
    Humanities Master of Arts (HUX) program


    Northeastern U's fast track programs:
    Accelerated Degrees | Online Masters Degrees | Northeastern College of Professional Studies
    (if anyone's done the MS in leadership, what was the intent, goal and did it work out? Should I start another thread with this question? )

    I've seen the two that Peru State College offers, but are not in subjects I would like to pursue.

    California State Dominguez Hills HUX program looks attractive, and to be honest it was a program I looked at before I ended up at WNMU. I chose WNMU because most schools in NC, and other states for that matter, require that you have 18 hours in the subject you want to teach, i.e., HIST. for history, or ENG. for English. Now, teaching may not be your eventual purpose, but if it is, keep in mind that you will be limited to teaching humanities courses only.

    I know you are thinking that other programs may be more specific than WNMU, but I'm not sure if CSUDH is it. I would go so far as to say its less specific. But that is only my opinion.

    If all your looking for is a master's and a smattering of courses in the humanities, in lieu of better jobs in the future, I'd say go for whichever one looks more interesting!

    I have heard that it is difficult to land a job teaching history or English, even more difficult because of the terrible condition of the economy and the education industry.

    I see myself teaching in an alternative setting-after school program, women's shelter, cultural center but not a college setting or consulting, reporting or writing. I'm putting aside the 18 hours in a subject for now and still working it out. I actually got a trifold poster out and am laying out all the different programs, noting plus and cons in index cards (visual learner). I might not even attend this spring because the UT telecampus is slow as molasses and still haven't gotten official transcripts from all schools, so I doubt I will be able to get a loan to cover classes.
