This program aims to offer students the theoretical and analytical tools
with which to read culture critically. It is designed to enable them to
analyze a wide range of cultural texts and practices in the light of contemporary
cultural and critical theories. It also allows students to pursue their
particular interests within an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural framework.
Students are required to take CCS 501-502 Introduction to Critical and
Cultural Theory I, II and CCS 504 Methodology and Research. (It is possible
to substitute CCS 504 with a similar graduate course on methodology offered
in a related field.) In addition they will be asked to choose four graduate
courses from a pool of courses in related fields subject to the consent
of their advisor, and to write an M.A. thesis. Students whose undergraduate
degrees are not in English Literature are required to take at least one
elective course from the English Literature pool.
