Westphal offers 18 undergraduate and nine graduate majors, housed in award-winning facilities that encourage collaboration across creative disciplines. At Westphal, we reimagine the role of design, media, and the arts in building a better future.

About Visual Studies in the Art and Art History Department Visual Studies (Studio Art) courses are housed in the Art and Art History Department in the Westphal College of Media Arts and Design. Visual Studies provides foundational coursework in Drawing and Design, as well as an array of upper-level electives in Sculpture, Painting, Printmaking, and Performance for most of the majors within Westphal. The Visual Studies program delivers studio curriculum for students majoring in 13 of Westphal's 19 design and media disciplines. Visual Studies courses establish a student's studio practice through foundation level courses and builds upon these core methods in upper-level studio classes. The Visual Studies faculty are working artists who use their research, professional art practices and collaborative spirit to inform their pedagogy. Students are inspired to merge the creative independence of fine art with design, Faculty work closely with students and encourage collaboration across disciplines, Job Summary Design for Media Courses (VSST 107, 108, 109) are foundation level studio courses that introduce the visual language of two-dimensional design while using a hybrid approach of studio and digital processes.

Completing this integrated coursework allows students to gain an understanding of the elements and principals of design in relation to their media-based disciplines, equipping them with the basic skill sets to guide them into their majors. Instructors will work with students to develop their visual communication skills while fostering individual creative expression.
