Creativity and Culture (Interdisciplinary)

Why study this program?

Creativity & Culture brings together the study of the humanities (literature, language, cultural studies, art history, and music history) with the fine arts (studio art, creative writing, music, and drama). Students focus on studying and using words, images, and sound, with the goal of engaging with cultural works.

Traditional humanities and fine arts majors graduate with a specific set of discipline-based skills. In contrast, our students are exposed to a variety of methods and approaches, and they are encouraged to pursue their own unique path through the program.

Why study at the University of Alberta?

Augustana Campus, located in Camrose, Alberta, one hour southeast of Edmonton, is home to just over 1,000 students from across Canada and around the world. Augustana offers liberal arts and science degree programs in an intimate and personalized setting, with smaller class sizes and a more flexible academic schedule.

Augustana also offers a modified semester system called The Augustana Calendar. Each semester is comprised of a three-week session studying a single course, followed by a more traditional 11-week session studying up to four courses. This gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into research, travel, and other experiential learning endeavors, while at the same time reducing stress and workload.
