Instructional Technology, Health, and Cultural Studies

Cultural Studies

The graduate program in Cultural Studies derives its intellectual identity and post-disciplinary orientation from anthropology, history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology, as well as from multiculturalism, ethnography, feminist theory, and other specialized forms of inquiry.

Students are expected to obtain a significant grounding in the allied, parent disciplines.

The program prepares students to teach in Cultural Studies and Social Foundations of Education within higher education and/or to conduct work in these fields within more applied educational, social and political settings

"This is a unique program! UT was the first to offer a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies in the USA. Our faculty are internationally known and our students are outstanding scholars and committed social activists from all over the world. Here you will find a program that offers you/us rigorous intellectual and moral challenges with a lot of mentoring and comraderie to help you/us grow and learn, and achieve our goals. It is a flexible program adjustable to individual students' interests and needs."
