Spend a semester or a year exploring the world’s most exciting experimental space—the city of Berlin—where the arts collide head-on with history and politics. With its conflicted past, central role in European and global economics and politics, and openness to artists and intellectuals, Berlin is a living classroom to explore and exploit the role of art in social change. Combine critical theory with studio practice and internships. Examine the role of art in society.  

The program is based on artistic practice including studio arts, performance, media, and the interplay among them. History and theory courses take an interdisciplinary approach to draw upon the wealth of Berlin's museums, monuments, galleries, performances, and non-traditional venues.
