Overview

Students interested in graduate programs in art at the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ can apply to the visual and cultural studies PhD program.

Visual and Cultural Studies

Housed in the Department of Art and Art History, the PhD (VCS) Program offers an interdisciplinary doctoral degree drawing on coursework and faculty expertise in several 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ humanities departments.

Our students relate literary and cultural theory to visual culture. They also investigate the connections between cultural productions, critical theory, and society. As a result, many take additional courses in such departments as history, English, music, and philosophy.
