Concentration in Religion and Visual Culture

This program is for students who wish to pursue the study of religion in conjunction with studies of visual culture. It consists of an individually planned sequence of courses, including a core set of lower-division courses to provide grounding in issues, methods, and a general history of visual culture; upper-division courses from within the department; and at least four upper-division courses from other departments which focus on the study of religion. A student enters the concentration by petitioning the History of Art and Visual Culture Department and proposing, in consultation with a member of the history of art and visual culture faculty, a sequence of upper-division courses to fulfill the religion and visual culture concentration requirements. Ordinarily, students complete two lower-division courses in history of art and visual culture before declaring the major.
