In 1975, the departments of English, history, modern foreign languages, and philosophy at Frostburg State College (Maryland) cooperatively proposed a master of arts program in modern studies. A survey was conducted to assess reactions to the program proposal. Three populations were surveyed: (1) undergraduate English, history, and foreign language students; (2) selected public school personnel in local Maryland countries; and (3) individuals in the area who had demonstrated an interest and leadership in promoting the humanities. The results are reported in tabular form, and the questionnaires are included. (MSE)
