Overview

The Media Arts and Culture BA programme from University of Windsor gives students a critical background in which to interpret and contextualize the historical legacies of art, media, technology, urban ecologies and the built environment and to apply their historical and theoretical knowledge to projects that investigate the complexity of contemporary culture. While the development of research and studio skills is essential within this programme there is also a strong emphasis on first hand observation through the following:

urban field research, community and collaborative models
media literacy and digital skills
research-creation projects that emphasize the relationship between image, text and sound

In addition to the introductory courses in Visual Culture and Media Arts at the first and second year levels, students will take courses in the history of art, photography, architecture, and the urban environment. Specialized upper level seminars currently include: Contemporary Photography, Urban Ecologies, Detroit Architecture, and Border Cultures. Please see our calendar for more information on the range of courses available through this programme.
