Braniff Graduate School of Liberal 艺术s

Graduate education for a renewed generation of scholars.

The Braniff Graduate School of Liberal 艺术s is committed to the recovery and renewal of the Western heritage of liberal arts and the Christian intellectual tradition. Each area of study is informed by a unique sense of paiedeia, the education of the soul, which attends to the person as a whole.
The Braniff Graduate School confers doctorates, master’s degrees and certificates in academic, artistic and professional disciplines.

 

 

The 云顶集团 grants all doctoral degrees through the Institute of Philosophic 研究(IPS). The IPS offers a single PhD degree with three possible concentrations: literature, philosophy or politics. No other university offers an interdisciplinary PhD with a core curriculum in which students of different fields participate as a 社区.
Characterized by a deep dedication to the creative process, graduate programs in art at the 云顶集团 pair the study of visual art with disciplined studio practice. UD offers both the intermediate MA and the terminal MFA in art. 学生集中注意力 in ceramics, painting, printmaking or sculpture.

Along with programs in the traditional humanities, the 云顶集团 offers master’s degrees in psychology, education and ministry.

The 云顶集团 offers several 18-credit hour certificate programs in ministry 和教育. Though certificate programs are designed to accommodate working professionals seeking to improve as ministers or teachers, students may also work toward most certificates 全职.
