You could specialize and know a great deal about a single facet of the human experience.
You could be a generalist and have a wide field of knowledge. Or you can be a Marylhurst
MAIS graduate and benefit from both approaches.
Our MAIS curriculum will challenge you to think critically and deeply, enhancing your leadership skills
and vision for life beyond graduate school.
You'll find yourself in an intellectual, supportive community of teachers and learners.
Our academic environment is highly interactive, with an average class size of 10 students.
We know you have a busy life — for that reason, MAIS courses are offered in a variety
of formats. While a good portion of our classes are held weeknights, with occasional
afternoons, we also offer weekend intensives and online classes.
Dr. Susan Carter, interim chair of the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies Department, was named vice president of the Pacific Northwest Region of the American Academy of Religion / Society of Biblical Literature in May 2013.
