Duke’s Visual and Media Studies BS interrogates how images, algorithms, and platforms shape perception and power. Coursework fuses film theory, game studies, and data visualization, while media-lab practicums build interactive documentaries and AR news explainers. Students audit recommendation-engine bias, remix archival footage into climate-justice PSAs, and co-author peer-reviewed articles on meme politics. Collaborative studios with computer-science peers prototype XR journalism for emerging publics.
