This program is for students who wish to pursue the study of religion in conjunction with studies of visual culture. It consists of an individually planned sequence of courses, including a core set of lower-division courses to provide grounding in issues, methods, and a general history of visual culture; upper-division courses from within the department; and at least four upper-division courses from other departments which focus on the study of religion. A student enters the concentration by petitioning the History of Art and Visual Culture Department and proposing, in consultation with a member of the history of art and visual culture faculty, a sequence of upper-division courses to fulfill the religion and visual culture concentration requirements. Ordinarily, students complete two lower-division courses in history of art and visual culture before declaring the major.
