The PhD program in Visual Studies at University of California, Irvine has some of this diversity in its grad students. Students come in with Art History and Film and Media Studies backgrounds, but also Sociology, Science Studies, American Studies, Gender Studies, and others.

The Irvine PhD program is interdisciplinary in nature (the faculty sit in the Art History and Film and Media Studies departments), which helps. But, visual studies is also a discipline more open to such diversity than art history has been traditionally.

I would imagine this diversity may also be found in Rochester’s Visual Culture program.
