Program Outline
Degree Overview:
As an art history major, you’ll study the visual arts, past and present, as forms of communication that are shaped by physical, cultural, political, psychological and economic contexts. You’ll be guided through a curriculum that provides historical and geographic breadth in the history of art and an introduction to studio art practice. In small, discussion-based courses, you’ll master the critical reading, writing and speaking skills that will prepare them to successfully navigate our media-rich world.
