MA in Visual and Critical Studies - Google Maps
Maud Lavin, Graduate Director
Email: mlavin@artic.edu
Website: www.artic.edu/saic
The MA in Visual and Critical Studies is designed for students interested in the scholarly and creative investigation of the production, dissementation, and impact of visual images and experiences. With the visual as a starting point, graduate students are offered multiple methods of critical investigation to study the interactions between visual phenomena and their historical, disciplinary, and social contexts. In one-to-one advising sessions, students are encouraged to build their own practices, through writing and/or visual media. The master's thesis is a particular focus for developing individual contributions and skills. A unique aspect of the MA in VCS is that it offers the option of combining studio and critical practices within the context of the field of visual and critical studies. For the master's thesis, students are encouraged to use vigorous and innovative approaches to research and analysis--and the formats with which they disseminate the outcomes of their explorations.
