The
Office of Programmes at the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences was set up in July 2001 to offer multi-disciplinary,
cross-departmental programmes, and to facilitate the introduction
of innovative programmes of study.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences serves a large
number of students, both within the Faculty and from other
Faculties/Schools. Together with the Faculty's three Divisions
- Asian Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences - and
the Centre for Language Studies, the Office of Programmes
aims to provide quality education for the development
of well-rounded graduates who will be adept at meeting
the challenges of an increasingly borderless world and
creating value in the new knowledge economy.
The Office of Programmes currently offers 5 multi-disciplinary
programmes and 6 minor Programmes of study:
- American Studies
- European Studies
- Singapore Studies
- Master of Social Sciences (International
Studies)
- PhD in Cultural Studies in Asia
- China Studies Minor
- Cultural Studies Minor
- Gender Studies Minor
- Religious Studies Minor
- Minor in Science, Technology and Society (STS)
- Societal Engagement and Social Learning (SESL)
Each of these cross-departmental programmes will have
its own academic convenor and/or curricular committee
to oversee standards and chart development. Cross-departmental
programme modules will be offered by a host department
and cross-listed as a programme module.
The Office of Programmes will be at the
fore-front of new cross-disciplinary areas of study that
are emerging, with the introduction of exciting multi-disciplinary
programmes for students in the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences.
