The MA program in Social and Cultural Analysis (SCA) is for motivated students seeking the broadest possible interdisciplinary training in the humanities and the humanistic social sciences. Students benefit from the full range of expertise borne by the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis faculty and a rigorous interdisciplinary course of study that is not bounded by narrowly-drawn national concerns.
Students are exposed to a range of methodologies in the social sciences and humanities, including ethnography, textual analysis, archival research, and cultural studies, meant to prepare students for a wide variety of appointments and careers in academic, cultural and public institutions.
Interdepartmental by definition, the student’s course of study includes seminars offered in the program and selected courses offered in the following departments, programs, and institutes: Anthropology, Cinema Studies, Comparative Literature, English, Fine Arts, History, Humanities & Social Thought (The Draper Program), Journalism, Media, Culture, and Communications, Music, Performance Studies, Philosophy, Politics, Sociology, Visual Culture
