Art History
An interdisciplinary approach to art history that promotes an understanding of art in relation to aesthetic traditions, cultural values, and social experience.
The BA in Art History major engages students in an interdisciplinary approach to the discipline that promotes an understanding of art in relation to aesthetic traditions, cultural values, and social experience. Classes incorporate museum visits, and Art History students have the opportunity for hands-on learning through study abroad and internships.
Art History prepares students for entry-level archive, gallery, or museum related employment and/or for graduate studies in Art History.
Note: It is recommended that students who plan to enter graduate school should complete two years of a world language at the college level.
