The program encompasses historical and contemporary arts and cultures broadly defined, with faculty offering a range of expertise in the history of art and design, visual culture, literary and performance arts, history, philosophy and the social sciences. The program brings together a close-knit group of students encouraged to collaborate and broaden one another’s understanding of global arts and cultures.
