The John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage, home of the M.A. program in public humanities, sponsors many workshops, lecturers, and visitors. Students undertake two practicums (one credited; one uncredited but required) gaining professional experience and the opportunity to reflect on the theory and practice of the field. In recent years, students have found placements at museums, universities, state, city and federal agencies, and archives and libraries.

The program draws on Brown's Open Curriculum and the wide-ranging resources of Providence's arts and cultural community to connect students to academic and hands-on learning experiences. Students in the public humanities program are encouraged to take courses in departments across the University and at the Rhode Island School of Design. Students are also able to cross-register for classes at Harvard University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

The M.A. program in public humanities participates in City Year's University Partnership. City Year corps members, alumni and current/former staff who are accepted to the public humanities M.A. program are eligible for financial assistance, including a waiver that covers their application.
