The UO Folklore and Public Culture Program now offers a Graduate Specialization for students earning graduate degrees in other UO programs.

This specialization is open to all UO graduate students in folklore and public culture-related areas of study in the humanities, social sciences, media studies, nonprofit management, ethnomusicology, and dance, among others. It is designed to be done alongside a student’s work in their home program, and gives training and credentials in many aspects of public culture, public sector work, arts programming, and related fields. The Graduate Specialization will be of particular interest to those engaged in public scholarship with an interest in a career outside of higher education.

There is no deadline; applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We welcome applications!
