Accredited in the U.S. and
Austria , BA in Culture, Politics and Society (CPS) provides an
interdisciplinary Liberal Arts curriculum updated for 21st century challenges. The
program is designed for the generation which has come of age after the digital
revolution, living in a society flooded with information, disinformation and
with technological transformations which continue to change how we learn,
communicate, and relate to one another.
In this program you
acquire skills for interpreting a wide variety of information, ranging from
classical texts to statistical data, to understanding the algorithms behind
common social media graphics. You are trained in the vital skills necessary for
producing knowledge and communicating it in multi-media forms outside the
classroom. You are also taught a rich and comprehensive curriculum in the
social sciences and humanities, opening many paths towards a fourth-year
specialization and completion of a BA major.
You progress from a
broad-based first year, where courses are mandatory for all and experience the
feeling of being part of a community, to increased specialization and course
choice during the rest of the program. In the first year, you are offered a
strong and wide-ranging foundation through specially designed courses that
introduce you to the themes of Culture, Politics and Society. The Spring terms
of the first three years are dedicated to experiential learning experiences.
From the second year onwards, you have increasing freedom of course choice, and
by the end of your studies you will have specialized in a disciplinary major
and will have completed a specialized capstone project.
