Critical Visions
CERT2
Why study Critical Visions?
The Critical Visions certificate program is jointly administered by the College of Arts and Sciences and College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. The program has two primary goals: (1) Increase students' understanding of what is at stake in how we see, including the social and political ramifications of advertising, art, media, science, and popular culture, among other dominant and subversive visual forms and visualizing practices. (2) Develop new artistic, media or design forms and practices that intervene in dominant ways of seeing and explaining the world. Students in the program’s capstone publish a biennial peer-reviewed critical theory/art journal, CVSN.
