The M.A. in European Thought and Culture draws on expertise from faculty in the Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences in order to take an interdisciplinary approach to this area of study. The degree provides students with a rigorous course of study in the foundational philosophical texts and cultural products in literature and the arts produced in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present, locating them in their historical contexts. The Program also emphasizes both the complex legacies of Europe's destructive colonial and imperialist projects and the racial, religious, and cultural diversity represented within European societies.
Students may enter the program from two different tracks: the 4+1 B.A./M.A. program for current UCI undergraduates and the stand-alone M.A. track for students from outside UCI.
