MICHAEL LATZER, Ph.D., Program
Director This interdisciplinary
program allows students to design their own curriculum based on personal
preference and career goals. The program also provides the flexibility to
explore historical, social and cultural perspectives while also considering the
problems and issues of contemporary culture. Career preparation comes through
choosing appropriate cognate courses and through administrative skills
(researching, organizing, analyzing, planning, creating, decision-making, oral
and written proficiency) acquired through the coursework.
Students always work in close consultation with the Program Director when designing their program.
Potential career opportunities include positions in government, the media industry, marketing and merchandising, banking and
insurance. This degree is also excellent preparation for graduate school, law school and library science.
