Visual Studies

The Visual Studies Area in the Department of Architecture offers a Master of Arts in Design degree program as well as undergraduate and graduate courses in drawing, photography, and word-image relationships, all of which take the visual world as their focus: how to see, how to structure an image, and how to give visual clarity to an idea.
