Bachelor of Arts in Popular Culture (Pass)

Brock University

The Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film offers four separate programs of study: Business Communication, Media and Communication Studies, Film Studies, and Popular Culture. A four-year program leading to the BA Honours degree, a 4 Year BA with Major, and a three-year program leading to the BA Pass degree is offered in all four programs. In addition, the Department is involved in programs with community colleges which offer students the opportunity to earn an honours degree in Popular Culture and a college diploma or certificate.Popular Culture Studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program that brings together theoretical and analytical perspectives from the humanities and social sciences. These varied approaches inform our understanding of popular culture as expressed through social media, advertising, music, popular cinema, sport, television, video games, as well as non-mass mediated cultural forms like fairs and festivals, food and drink, tourism and travel. We study these expressions of culture within their cultural, economic, political, and social contexts, past and present.
