Program Overview
The B.A. in Art with a concentration in Art History provides both a strong foundation and advanced courses in art history and visual culture, as well as a variety of liberal arts electives and the study of a foreign language. Students are expected to discuss their programs of study, including electives, with assigned success advisors. In the Art History concentration, students learn how to articulate and express their ideas about art while developing research and writing skills as tools for communicating about art. Art history students research art and visual culture in depth and may pursue graduate study in art history or related fields. Many students complete internships at galleries and museums throughout the country.
To reflect the breadth and variety of art and visual culture, the Art History concentration offers a diverse, comprehensive curriculum in the history of world cultures. Students pursuing a unique specific interest in art’s historical and cultural contexts are encouraged to explore Study Abroad programs offered through the Office of Global Opportunities.
