Visual Anthropology Certificate


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by School

Students can be admitted to the certificate program in visual anthropology after they have completed their PhD qualifying examinations. The certificate is an interdisciplinary program, with training in digital video production provided by the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Professional skills in video production are designed to help students present their research results to a wider audience and to use visual media effectively in communicating ideas about anthropology. After completing fieldwork, students take a year-long editing sequence and practicum (ANTH 576  and ANTH 577 ) to finish a visual project, which will complement the written dissertation.) A total of 16 units is required.

Note:


Students may begin to take course work required for the certificate in their first year, but they cannot complete their project until they have satisfied other requirements for doctoral candidacy. The Certificate in Visual Anthropology is received at the same time as the PhD.
