Visual Culture and Society awards one credit for experiential learning that gives students the opportunity to expand on what they have learned in the classroom. In the experiential learning component of the course, students put knowledge to work in a real-world setting and expand their knowledge of theory by exploring visual culture in a variety of settings.

Each student must complete a total of 45 hours of experiential learning during the fall 2005 semester. Every student must participate in the "Evolution of a News Story" exercise and at least one of the field trips; if a student decides to do field study other than one of the field trips, that decision must be made before 10/15.
