The Boston University MFA in Visual Narrative program underscores the myriad possibilities emerging from the amalgamation of Comics, Picture Books, and Transmedia, especially when synergized within a Research I institution. This integration entails intertwining research in the humanities and sciences with the artistic disciplines of comics, picture books, and transmedia, thereby forging multifaceted storytelling experiences. Through exploring the practical applications of various modes of Visual Narrative, the program delves into the medium’s capacity to convey narratives with empathy and to communicate effectively with a wide-ranging audience.
