communication, analytical, negotiating, organizational and research skills in a variety
of fields such as education, museum management/curation, nonprofit management, human

you are a middle or high school teacher of English, History, or Social Studies, you

Ph.D. programs in fields such as Afro-American Studies, Sociology, or Anthropology.
While in the MAST program, you will learn to view the United States and the Americas
within larger world systems and understand how American cultures have been continually
reshaped by the movement of people, commerce, and ideas.
