Fine Arts and Visual Studies

Program Overview

Through the Fine Arts/Visual Studies interest area at Bryant, you will learn to think critically about your surroundings, drawing on knowledge of historical periods and diverse cultures.

Images surround us in our every day life – in film, television, paintings, architecture, billboards, newspapers, magazines, computer graphics, and photography. To become a discerning observer, you will attend classes in cultural studies, media studies, popular material culture, film theory, and the histories of art and photography.

Having studied Fine Arts/Visual Studies, you will possess a deep understanding of cultural and historical references, and will be able to rely on that knowledge to analyze the world around you. Our graduates go on to secure positions in research and teaching, marketing and advertising, arts administration, and in museums in the United States and abroad.
