There is lots of bad news around. This is a piece of brilliant good news!
An amazing opportunity that comes from amazing successful entrepreneurs who value a Humanities education, and value the amazing Jordan Peterson. As a long-time (life-long) lover of good thinking and long-time Humanities prof, I am utterly delighted to hear of this – 24 full scholarships for this brand new MA program.

“An intensive one-year Master’s degree in the Humanities – exploring the concept of the human self – beginning in Samos, Greece and continuing in Savannah, Georgia. Full scholarships provided for all accepted students.”
What is the human self? How does it become what it is meant to be? And why was the Greek language fundamental to framing and exploring these questions?
Ralston College is seeking candidates for twenty full-tuition fellowships for a year of graduate studies in the humanities. Focusing, in 2022-23, on the theme of “the self,” our multidisciplinary curriculum will trace the origins and chronological development of the concept of the self through philosophy, music, architecture, art, and literature.
This degree will entail four terms of intense intellectual work, first in Greece, then in Savannah. Graduate students in our program will face the challenge of discovering—and recovering—what the human self has meant, historically, across diverse times and cultures, and how this conception continues to inform the existential assumptions and convictions of our current moment.
While this MA year will of course enable further advanced study and careers in a wide range of fields, it aims at something more fundamental still: to provide its participants with the depth of knowledge, analytical acuity, and enriched imagination that are the basis for both individual flourishing and the renewal of our culture at large.
Indeed, the intellectual effort that this demanding program of study entails—extensive reading, intense discussion, and deep thinking—will prepare its graduates to meet the great challenges of our time.
A civilization hostile to its own inheritance needs sympathetic interpreters who can correctly appraise the neglected treasures at its foundations; a world in need of renewal requires vital visions of synthesis in which materials from different moments combine in new and surprising forms.
By fostering friendships with mentors and peers in the present and with the writers, thinkers, and artists of the past, the Ralston College Humanities MA will help to recreate the conditions of human flourishing—precisely by incorporating its graduates into the very tradition which they themselves will transmit.
The news is especially great as the Humanities are currently ever-more devalued as useless.

How did we evolve and survive without such courses in the past? What use is this going to be for getting a job?
