Visual Studies PhD

5 Years On Campus Phd Program

University at Buffalo SUNY

Program Overview

The Department of Art unites the disciplines of art, art history, and visual studies and aesthetics. Practicing artists and designers are expected to cultivate the relationship of research, theory and history to their work, and, concurrently, art historians, theorists and curators are compelled to engage multiple visual platforms and environments beyond the traditional discourse of art. The emphasis of our programs on interdisciplinarity is at the core of our departmental mission. In this way the Department of Art continues to contribute to the rich history of avant-garde development that has been a cornerstone of the Arts at UB.
