Transcultural Humanities Media, Texts, Languages in a Globalized World

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

About the Program

The Transcultural Humanities challenge us to think critically about our positions and perspectives in a constantly changing, ever-enlarging global society, even as they reach back through centuries and millennia to draw on the very foundations that define our humanity. Such cultural foundations include languages, various art forms (literary, musical, pictorial, sculptural etc.) as well as media old and new. The B.A. in Transcultural Studies is based on an interdisciplinary program taught by scholars from 11 different humanities fields. The curriculum is integrated rather than merely cumulative, as heterogeneous subjects are conceptualized within a common transcultural frame.
