Bachelor of Arts in Art and Visual Culture
Program Overview
The art and visual culture studies major at Seattle University integrates the fundamentals of artmaking with an exploration of art history and the ways visual culture shapes our world.
It features a robust curriculum with a focus on innovative educational approaches and new technologies. Our visual arts program maintains a contemporary view of art that centers the margins and empowers students to envision social change.
Through two specialization options, students gain technical and analytical skills that allow them to participate in the ongoing innovations and critical discussions within our increasingly visually oriented society.
The visual art and design specialization?encourages students to explore their own unique artistic voice. While the visual culture studies specialization?offers deep, episodic dives into different cultures and historical moments while keeping questions about the ethics of representation and the power dynamics of the making, display and circulation of images and objects at the center of students’ inquiry.
Two capstone courses allow students to deeply explore the connection?between creative practice and issues such as technology, gender, race and the environment.

- Demonstrate proficiency in a variety of materials and techniques.
