BA in Visual Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Visual Studies enables students to develop an interdisciplinary studio practice. The curriculum organizes multiple approaches to visual thinking that cut across various disciplines into a logical whole. Students in this major develop studio practices from a variety of aesthetic, theoretical, scientific, sociological, and historical viewpoints. Students learn to consider medium, its impact on the image and message of a piece, and the work's social and cultural context. The major is comprised of a stimulating blend of studio and academic courses that provide students with a sound basis for pursuing graduate study in studio art, art history, art theory and criticism, or visual anthropology.
