Masters program for Critical Theory

Graduate School
1

<p>I'm interested in studying Critical Social Theory (Frankfurt school, critical theory), but I'm having trouble finding a masters program that will fill the void of what I'm looking for.
I'm interested in the ethics, politics, and critical thinking involved with this school of thought. However, this involves the unification of political science, psychology, sociology and philosophy. So I'm wondering if there is a masters program that covers most of these or do I have to choose only one aspect of critical theory?</p>

<p>I'm in Florida and know that USF and FSU offer concentration on critical theory, but these programs focus on the literary aspect. I'm a junior majoring in philosophy and working on a minor in social science.</p>

<p>I'm only looking to get a masters on the subject after my BA in philosophy.</p>

<p>Hi there. I came across your post while searching for the very same information. </p>

<p>Um, you know that your field is not going to find you a job, right? </p>

<p>For critical theory, programs varies and depend largely on the institution which is hosting it. But by rules of thumb, the most theoretical school in U.S are literature programs, not English ones, but comparative literature or literature. Cultural studies is also a good indication of the program’s strength in critical theory. Also, you might want to tap into media studies. </p>

<p>Master program in humanities is cash cow, especially interdisciplinary masters. Avoid them if you can.</p>
