Visual Studies

The field of visual studies combines established methods of contemporary art such as digital, temporal, interactive, and presentation practices with the theoretical discourses specific to these modes of production.

This emphasis area incorporates interdisciplinary approaches and stresses the role of digital media and context as primary considerations for the production and analysis of visual works. Using an integrated approach, the program equips majors with an essential array of technical, conceptual, political, and social capacities needed for effective cultural work. The emphasis also encourages interaction with the local community and facilitates students working collectively and interpretively with the civic environment.

Students may pursue a BA, BS, or BFA in this studio emphasis.
