The cultural studies concentration provides students with an introduction to key issues, problems, and debates in the study of art and creativity in cultural context. Beyond the required set of core courses, students select from a range of courses offered in the World Arts and Cultures Department and in other departments. Students may also consider courses from ethnic and area studies programs and may organize their course of study in relation to particular interests or professional goals (e.g., international comparative studies, intercultural studies, area specializations such as Africa, Asia, or Latin America, minority discourse, gender or women's studies).
