critical and visual studies

<p>Anyone have info on the Critical and Visual Studies program at Pratt? Daugher is extremely interested in this, we will be visiting in the Spring. My sense is that it is a fairly new program--how long has it been around, what number of students in the program, etc.? Also, any sense of how competitive it is to get in? I know the visual arts programs are very competitive, but thought this might be less so given that it is a liberal arts program at a school that a lot of people might not think of for liberal arts. Daughter probably will end up about 3.1 or 3.2 uw at highly competitive school (90 plus % of students go to 4 year colleges), 1200ish on SATs, very strong writer, very strong ec's mostly in performing arts (chorus, theater--has taken part in writing and putting on several plays).</p>
