UI now has School of Cultural Sciences

JAKARTA: The University of Indonesia's School of Letters
announced on Saturday a change in its name to the School of
Cultural Sciences.

According to lecturer Junaedi, people always connect the old
name with language studies only, whereas the school offers arts,
history and philosophy courses.

There is no significant change in its curriculum.

"Parents usually do not want to see their children entering
the School of Literature as they think that the children will
only get language skills," said Junaedi.

The School of Cultural Sciences accommodates about 3,000
students in its 14 departments offering bachelor degrees, eight
departments for nondegree courses and one post graduate
department.--JP
