Learn from the past

The study of Art History develops the student’s ability to place a work of art in its historical, cultural, social and political contexts by developing both analytical and visual skills. While an undergraduate concentration in art history many lead directly to graduate studies and a career in teach and scholarly research, there are numerous opportunities in museums, galleries, auction house and publishing companies. The Program offers a 42-credit major and an 18-credit minor in art history.  There is no portfolio requirement for art history.

Art History Minor

The minor in art history is an 18-credit degree.  It consists of the two-semester Survey of the History of Art (Art 2385-86) and two courses at the 3000-level and two at the 4000-level.
