This article examines the visual environment on the campuses of two Historically Black Colleges or Universities and two Predominantly White Institutions. I use photos and observations to identify common physical campus variables that may give some insight into the Historically Black Colleges or Universities' campus culture and the unique traits that make Historically Black Colleges or Universities different from Predominantly White Institutions. Qualitative Visual Environment Analysis is a pioneering methodology that was used to conduct the study. This methodology looks at the layout of an institution and makes interpretations about the campus culture from the visible physical images and structures. The institutions were then compared and analyzed using a Critical Race Theory lens. The themes that emerged fit into four major categories: Greek life imagery on campus, security and barriers on campus, access to student recreation, and areas on campus dedicated to racial/ethnic groups. Specific recommendations are given that may enhance the physical campus environment of current universities or assist in the creation of new institutions. Lastly, future potential research is discussed using Qualitative Visual Environment Analysis. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
