www.trentu.ca/culturalstudies

The Department of Culture, Arts, and Media offers training in the history, theory, and practice of culture, with an emphasis on literature, the arts (especially visual art, music, theatre, and film), and media. Interdisciplinary courses consider culture both historically and in relation to the increasingly interconnected and complex contemporary world. Intensive workshop classes give students hands on experience with creative writing, studio art, theatre and performance, film, and audio production.

INFORMATION & ADDITIONAL NOTES

• Cultural Studies majors select their courses from three different areas of concentration: Integrated Arts; Film, Literature & Narrative; and Criticism & Theory. Students have the option of pursuing a Specialization in a particular area.

• The Accelerated Master of Arts program in Cultural Studies allows students to obtain a Master's degree in Cultural Studies within one to two terms less than students in the regular Master’s program. Students apply to the Accelerated Master of Arts program during the spring term which precedes the last year of their undergraduate program in Cultural Studies. The research starts in the fourth year. Upon graduation, students begin the MA program in May or September, just after completion of the undergraduate program. Students who are interested in applying should contact the Cultural Studies graduate program director.
