Cultural Studies Minor

For several years, various Departments have offered individual courses in areas that extend beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries and touch on the relatively new interdisciplinary field of Cultural Studies. The University itself has undertaken a Cultural Studies Initiative, and a graduate programme in the field now exists on all three campuses. Over the past three years in particular, at Mona, undergraduate courses have been offered in the area.
