cul·tur·al stud·ies


noun 
Definition:
 
1. multidisciplinary study of culture across social strata: the study of culture from a sociological rather than an aesthetic viewpoint. It draws on the social sciences such as politics and semiotics, rather than traditional forms of literary, artistic, or musical criticism.

2. broad-based university course: a wide-ranging educational course, especially at college or university level, covering all aspects of culture, the arts, sciences, and social science. It is often intended as a foundation for other courses.
