Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies

What is the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies?

We offer both graduate and undergraduate programs, and provide an exciting intellectual environment for examining various types of communication within society; the cultural forms, relationships and institutions that emerge; and the economic and political forces that underlie them. Our programs in the areas of language, literary studies, cultural studies, art history, creative writing, and the visual and performing arts, explore different dimensions of these cultural expressions and relationships, as they relate to interactions among humans and between humans and other phenomena, both physical and abstract. We help cultivate the skills and knowledge base which help to interrogate our cultural and natural heritage; to determine which elements need to be preserved; to explore how best these can be sustained; and to better the human condition.
