Program in Cultures, Civilizations and Ideas

Bilkent University

New!! Honors Seminar Beginning in Fall 2008


Founded in 1999, the Program in Cultures, Civilizations and Ideas teaches a year-long intensive course focusing on the meaning of culture:  what it is,  how it functions, and how we, as subjects, participate in it.  The texts that we examine exemplify a number of social, political, philosophical, and literary currents from the past that have made us who we are as citizens, intellectuals, artists, scientists, and observers in the world today.  The sequence of Humanities 111 and 112 is required of all students in the Engineering Faculty as well as the Departments of English Language and Literature and Communication and Design. 

Faculty members in the CCI Program have backgrounds in a wide variety of fields, from comparative literature and cultural theory to philosophy and history.  They offer program-specific courses, but also teach in other departments across the university.  

The CCI Program runs a colloquium series and interdisciplinary symposia covering a wide range of issues in the humanities.
