departmental curriculum’s particular strengths in literature, history, and
film, the course of study can encompass a wide range of fields, from music and
anthropology to linguistics and performance studies. With its focus on
interdisciplinarity and comparative methodologies, the program can serve as
excellent preparation for graduate study at the PhD level. It also provides a
