Overview

The department also offers a master’s degree in digital art history/computational media (formerly historical and cultural visualization). The eighteen-month program integrates historical disciplines and the study of cultural artifacts with digital visualization techniques for the analysis and presentation of research. The program requires ten courses over three semesters in addition to summer research. Students affiliate with an existing faculty research initiative, from which they will develop their own independent research project for the MA thesis. Common themes that unite the various projects are the visualization of process, the representation of change over time, recontextualizing displaced objects and object biographies.

The department also offers a master of fine arts degree in experimental and documentary arts. For information on the MFA in experimental and documentary arts, visit aahvs.duke.edu/graduate/mfaeda.
