Program Description

Founded in 2008, the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies is designed for a small cohort of students who seek to transform their communities through applied forms of cultural work that engage diverse populations. Through the development of a learning and professional portfolio, cultural studies graduates integrate work completed in core courses, elective courses, and a capstone project.

Graduate education in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences links theory and practice to develop creative and critical thinkers and doers. We offer evening programs for working adults that emphasize interdisciplinary inquiry, collaborative learning, dedicated faculty mentorship, and small class sizes.

About the School

The School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) is a dynamic site of innovation at the University of Washington. Our mission statement demands that we develop academically challenging programs of study flexible enough to respond rapidly to changing research questions and regional needs, including those of non-traditional and traditional students. Our organizational structure – as an interdisciplinary, non-departmentalized school – enables us to fulfill this mission.

The goal of the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences faculty and staff is to educate students and conduct research through modes of inquiry that stretch across disciplinary and departmental boundaries inherited from the past. This endeavor requires that we cultivate an understanding of how multiple disciplines create knowledge about the world and a capacity to develop new avenues of exploration. The result is a learning environment where complex problems - not singular disciplines - dictate the directions of student and faculty inquiry. It is an environment oriented toward the future.

Through hands-on and experiential learning inside and outside the classroom, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences undergraduate and graduate degrees offer students the opportunity to create new knowledge about the world and to make a difference in it. Like their faculty, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences students become creators of knowledge that responds to emerging issues and problems, not just consumers of knowledge made elsewhere. Our engaged approach to scholarship and our commitment to educational innovation is what makes School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences an exciting and dynamic environment for all of our students, faculty, and staff.
