About Frontier Innovation University
Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.
Overview
This MA is for people who want to work with Twin Cities public memory—city records, neighbourhood papers, labour and civic collections—without pretending Frontier runs the city’s official archive. You will practise documentary research, ethical quotation, and civic writing that can be cited. Austin campus access to local collections is scheduled honestly; tuition-free online students work with digitised and remotely available holdings plus a methods standard that does not invent a second, easier MA. Capstones are documented inquiries, not unpublished novels. No fake municipal seals.
Delivered on campus in Austin with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.
**Award:** Frontier Innovation University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
