Welcome to the Visual Studies program website.

We live in an increasingly visual culture. New technologies and philosophies of vision influence how we see ourselves and our world, and how we think about seeing itself. The Visual Studies major was created in 2003 to allow students to directly engage these developments through a multidisciplinary course of study, connecting the theory, practice, and culture of seeing.

 

Announcements:
Congratulations to our 2009 graduates, and especially to Lizzie Frasco and Rebecca Starr, winners of the Charles Willson Peale Prize for outstanding Visual Studies theses!
