Color: Sight and Perception (C036)
GEC Coordinator: Susan Dewsnap
The perception of color is contextual and culturally determined. This concentration provides the opportunity to study color in theory and in practice, as cultural construct, and as concrete physical phenomenon.
Complete four courses designated with the (C036) GEC attribute, with no more than one short term course and no more than two courses from any one department/program. One non-Bates credit may be applied toward this concentration if it is determined to be equivalent to a Bates course in the list below, or if it is judged to be appropriate by the concentration coordinator and with prior approval.
