Preceptors
Students work closely with one of the preceptors in the Master of Arts Program in the Social Sciences. Preceptors guide students in defining their areas of academic specialization, as well as in choosing courses. Preceptors also assist students in selecting faculty sponsors for their M.A. papers and take an active role in guiding and evaluating the research and writing of these papers.
