Bachelors of Arts in Art History

The Bachelors of Arts in Art History allows students to develop a deeper understanding of art and the role it plays in communities and personal lives as they prepare for graduate study or work in a gallery or museum. Studies in Art History prepare students for a variety of careers and graduate studies by developing critical observation and communication skills through extensive discussion and writing about visual form. Students gain an understanding of a wide range of cultures and historical periods in introductory courses, while delving deeper into art historical methods and research in more advanced courses. Art history majors hone the skills they have developed in a senior capstone experience, composing a research paper and presenting their findings to the University community.
