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, exploring both the challenges and opportunities in researching, analyzing, and documenting visual culture in our modern era. 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, or venture beyond Arts and Sciences to programs in the Annenberg School of Communication and the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
