>> Museum Fellows Program
RISD offers courses in the History of Art, Architecture, and Visual Culture spanning a wide range of media, time periods, and and critical perspectives. Courses on topics as diverse as Museum Culture, Landscape in American film, Architecture and Urbanism of Berlin, or African Women Artists are available. The College offers a 27-credit undergraduate and a 36-credit graduate Concentration in Art History designed for students who wish to complement their studio major with in-depth studies in Visual Culture: art history, theory, criticism and museum studies. The undergraduate art history concentration can be completed within a 4- or 5-year degree program and requires a total of 51 credits in Liberal Arts.
The graduate concentration requires a semester and a Wintersession beyond the MFA studies. All RISD BFA and MFA candidates are eligible to undertake a concentration in Art History and Visual Culture. The concentration coordinator in Art History and Visual Culture can provide program specifics. Contact Professor Paola Demattè (pdematte@risd.edu) or call 401- 454 – 6267.
