Bachelor [Arts, Media and Culture] From University of Washington

Learn about a range of fields with the opportunity for some specialization. Gain experience working in fields such as visual arts, film, literature or media in both American and international contexts.

An Arts, Media and Culture degree prepares students for a range of careers including publishing, the arts, media, museum work, public relations and public history. It is also appropriate for students pursuing broad cultural literacy, as well as for those planning to continue their education in advanced study in performing and visual arts or the humanities.

In this major you will:

• Cultivate insight unique to human beings and will be able to identify and explain interrelations among texts of apparently disparate discourses: literature, film and visual arts.
• Acquire the interpretive skills necessary to analyze individual texts of various kinds - literary, film, art, televisual, musical - closely and critically. Students will be not just literate but visually or audiovisually literate.
• Understand the importance of history and culture as they shape and are in turn shaped by arts and media.
• Gain practical experience in the creative processes of one of the arts or media studied in the major.
• Be able to express the knowledge and experience described in the items listed above in clear, concise and persuasive writing.
