We offer three degrees: The MA in the Study of the Americas, The MA in the Study of the Americas: Dominican Studies Track, and the MA in the Study of the Americas: Human Rights Track. All three degrees ground students in a broad vision of the Americas while allowing them to explore more individual interests.  They combine a variety of perspectives, including literature, anthropology, history, philosophy, urban studies, cultural studies, film, and political science to subjects such as race, gender, human rights, contemporary politics, immigration, and popular culture. Our Dominican Studies Track offers the only post-graduate degree in Dominican Studies in the United States. Our Human Rights Track approaches the field from multiple disciplinary and thematic perspectives, allowing students to benefit from a range of human rights initiatives at CCNY.
