Master of Arts in the Humanities - Full and Partial Scholarships Available
Institution: Ralston College
Location: Greece and Savannah, Georgia
Ralston College invites applications for its one-year Master of Arts in the Humanities, a program for those who wish to think deeply, live fully, and take part in the renewal of our shared culture.
This immersive course of study traces the great works of Western civilization, from Homer’s Greece to the modern world, uniting philosophy, literature, theology, and art in a single, searching exploration of what it means to be human.
The program begins in Greece, where students undertake an intensive language residency learning to read Ancient Greek texts in the land of their origin. It continues in Savannah, Georgia, where students trace the unfolding of the Western imagination from antiquity through the Renaissance and into modernity.
For the 2026–2027 academic year, the theme of Beauty will guide the curriculum and shall be examined as a central idea in philosophy, literature, and art, and as a vital question for life itself.
Ralston welcomes applicants from all academic backgrounds. What is needed to thrive is not prior specialization but a genuine commitment to reading, thinking, and exploring ideas in fellowship and good will.
Throughout the year, students read slowly and widely, write often, and take part in seminars, lectures, concerts, and symposia that foster a genuine intellectual fellowship. The rhythm of intense study and communal life cultivates both clarity of thought and depth of friendship.
The College seeks to attract the highest caliber of students and maintains a strong scholarship program to ensure that financial means are never a barrier to admission. All admitted students are eligible for full and partial scholarships to cover tuition and living expenses. These awards vary according to merit and need and may total up to $60,000. Scholarship amounts are listed on Handshake under “pay” to reflect this financial support; students do not receive a salary.
Graduates leave Ralston with the intellectual courage, imagination, and moral insight that form the foundation of any meaningful life.
Apply by December 18th, 2025, for priority access to scholarship consideration.
