We always hear about the popular graduate programs such as business, education, social work, and psychology. In reality, there are hundreds of different graduate degree subjects, and variations within in each subject.
Here are some of the lesser known graduate degree programs, the purpose of the degree, and where you may be able to obtain one.
- Outdoor Education – Both Masters and PhDs are awarded in this particular field of study. This particular program forces students to go beyond the traditional textbook learning style and test their limits in other capacities. A Masters in Outdoor Education provides the degree earner with the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in such professions as recreation directors, park directors and physical education instructors. Two schools offering these masters programs include The University of New Hampshire and La Trobe University.
- Women’s Studies – This masters degree program focuses on sex & gender as they relate to societal issues. The general Women’s Studies graduate program will equip its graduates with the tools to serve as social advocates, writers, social policy workers, or even politicians. Visit Smith College for more information about a program in this field.
- Peace Studies – A Masters in PhD in Peace Studies will prepare its graduates for mediation in all aspects of life. The connotation is that the course material applies to political conflict resolution. However, Peace Studies graduate degrees provide the theoretical and practical knowledge for graduates to work in general business or education settings. Here is a listing of some of the Peace Studies Graduate Programs in the United States.
