The AMC major focuses on how the fields of art and media operate within culture and how they transform it by studying formal, aesthetic and socio-cultural ways of understanding literature, visual art, film, music and other media. An Arts, Media and Culture degree prepares students for a range of careers including publishing, the arts, media, museum work, public relations and public history. It is also for those students pursuing a broad cultural literacy, as well as for those planning to continue their education in advanced study in performing and visual arts or the humanities.
Arts, Media and Culture majors have five tracks to choose from:

College student reading in library
