Bachelor of Arts - Cultural Studies

First Cultural Studies Program in Atlantic Canada 

What is Cultural Studies? Cultural Studies offers study in the nature and criticism of culture and the arts—chiefly literature, film, visual art and popular culture. This interdisciplinary program fosters inquiry into the social and political conditions in which thought and expression take place. Forms of cultural expression such as films, literature and paintings are thus analyzed both as texts and as practices in context.

Where do Graduates work? Graduates from Cultural Studies programs such as ours find careers in journalism, the arts, critical writing, museum work, teaching, and law.
