MA in Visual Studies

The MA in Visual Studies was a 36-credit program of study designed for a small, selective body of students. Courses provide foundations in critical theory and visual analysis, with individual professors specializing in the intersection of art and post-colonial studies, gender studies, queer theory and the social histories of art. Students worked closely with faculty in developing an individualized, interdisciplinary course of study. This Master’s program was ideal for students who wish to pursue a range of careers in the arts and is equally valuable for those seeking to develop visual, analytical, and communicative skills. Graduates have gone on to work in museums and art galleries and to enroll in a variety of PhD programs in the humanities. The MA was structured as a 2-year program.
