Overview
Normally, about 16-20 graduate students study with members of the graduate faculty. Another factor is the highly individual nature of study programs jointly developed by the student and the graduate advisor which produces Popular Culture Master's theses and alternative projects such as museum exhibits covering a wide-range of topics and subject areas. Each program is designed to fit the interests and needs of the individual graduate student. A third advantage is the excellent holdings of the University Library, especially in popular culture materials. The Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives, with some 700,000 items, is the finest academic collection of popular music in the United States. The Browne Popular Culture Library contains an extraordinary collection of popular print materials ranging from hardcover best-sellers to movie posters and television scripts.
