The Visual Studies program at the University of Pennsylvania equips students to create groundbreaking links between various fields focused on visual perception and imagery. Learners develop critical perspectives on vision, along with the challenges and opportunities involved in researching, analyzing, and documenting visual culture in modern times. As an inherently cross-disciplinary initiative, Visual Studies collaborates with Philosophy, Psychology, Art History, Fine Arts, and Architecture departments. Participants might also explore related offerings like Cinema Studies or Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies within Arts & Sciences, or venture into other schools including Annenberg Communications and Engineering & Applied Sciences.
