School for Studies in Art and Culture (SSAC)
About
Carleton’s School for Studies in Art and Culture is a dynamic interdisciplinary school that houses undergraduate and graduate programs in Art & Architectural History, Film Studies, and Music. Because we have three academic disciplines in one School, students take advantage of interdisciplinary approaches and benefit from the shared knowledge of faculty in all three disciplines.
