Sarah Lawrence College offers eight distinctive master’s degree programs in the arts, humanities, and sciences, and two unique dual degrees:

• Art of Teaching
• Child Development
• Dual Degree in Social Work and Child Development
  (Master of Social Work/Master of Arts)
• Dance
• Health Advocacy
• Human Genetics
• Theatre
• Women's History
• Joint Degree in Women’s History and Law
  (Master of Arts/Juris Doctorate)
• Writing

The 10 programs provide training for professional, academic, and artistic careers. They evolved as the College’s faculty identified new academic fields or approaches, recognized emerging professions, or expanded the College’s historic strengths in the creative arts. All the graduate programs are characterized by Sarah Lawrence’s strong emphasis on individual scholarship and intensive collaborative work with members of the Sarah Lawrence faculty. Most require a master’s project, based either on research or creative work, and many require fieldwork or practicums. Students may attend on a full-time or part-time basis (except for Dance and Theatre, which require full-time enrollment). Degree requirements vary for each program, and applicants are urged to explore individual program descriptions in detail.
