Bothell: UW branch to offer new degree
Students of the University of Washington Bothell campus will be able to pursue a Master of Arts in cultural studies beginning in fall 2008.
The new degree, part of the university’s Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program, is the first graduate program in the Pacific Northwest to partner the interdisciplinary study of art and culture with a community-based learning network.
The program is designed to prepare students for careers in social, cultural and arts fields, or further interdisciplinary graduate education across the arts, humanities and social and natural sciences.
Applications are now being accepted. For more information, go to www.uwb.edu/IAS/macs or call 425-352-5427.
