M.A.C.S. Curriculum

Academic Requirements

To earn the Master of Arts in Cultural Sustainability, students beginning their coursework in Summer 2025 complete a minimum of 36 credits of required, elective and professional management courses. The required courses comprise 21 credits of the degree and include a six-credit capstone project in the field. The additional course credits are drawn from program electives  (9 credits) and  professional management (CSPM) courses (6 credits).

Courses are conducted online and during short residencies or field schools in July and January, allowing you to continue working while you pursue your degree regardless of your location. The low-residency component provides face-to-face interaction and fieldwork with faculty and other students in the program, building a community of practice that will carry into your career.
