Critical and Creative Thinking
For more information, contact Dr. Nina Greenwald, CCT faculty: nlgreenwald@comcast.net

Are you looking to bring change to your community? your school? your workplace? your life?

UMass Boston's innovative, interdisciplinary graduate program in Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT), one-of-a-kind in the country for more than thirty years, provides its students with knowledge, tools, experience, and support so they can become constructive, effective agents of change in education, work, social movements, science, and creative arts.

Housed in the university's Graduate College of Education, the program integrates the perspectives of a wide range of disciplines. CCT core faculty are distinguished scholars and teachers of philosophy, psychology and education, and the programâs part-time faculty bring expertise in fields such as organizational development, community planning, educational leadership, and the arts.

Starting this fall, the CCT program will be offering courses at the Cape Cod Community College Hyannis Center, leading toward the 15-credit CCT graduate certificate. Students may take up to two of these 3-credit courses before matriculating into the certificate program. (Certificate students may also apply to continue into the 33-credit Master of Arts degree program.)

Courses will be taught by core CCT faculty from the UMass Boston Campus who are leading specialists in the field of critical and creative thinking!
