The Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) in ASU’s New College, West campus, is an innovative degree designed for students from all disciplines who wish to problem-solve with “out of the box” thinking. “MAIS is a new degree for the new century, offered by The New American University,” says Program Director, Dr. Robert D. Taylor. “Our faculty are dedicated professionals ready to teach a new wave of student-professionals eager to build effective careers in challenging environments; people who are motivated, skilled, capable of stepping up to the demands of the today’s workplace.” We encourage In-Service Teachers, City Employees from Phoenix and the West Valley, Non-Profit Leaders, Artists, Musicians, Digital Media Specialists, Corporate Managers and others to join cohorts of students in our exciting program.” Core courses in creative and critical thinking, research and problem-solving skills, plus electives specially selected for individual students, or grouped into concentration areas, such as Civic Leadership, Non-Profit Studies, Visual Cultures, English, Applied Arts, and Cultural Studies are followed by a final Capstone Course that can take a variety of directions.
