Art History Philosophy

The Art History Program offers courses in a broad range of areas that are representative of world history, from ancient times to the present. Our courses lay a foundation in cultural awareness and in critical thinking for art history and studio art majors who are pursuing careers in teaching, museum work, studio art or design production, and other related fields. Students learn to think about historical factors and issues that shape the lives of artist, the making of art and the reception of the arts in different geographical regions and time periods. Courses additionally introduce students to research methodologies of various disciplines that are concerned with visual culture. Successful students in the Program broaden their interests, deepen their understanding of the contemporary world and improve their verbal and written communication skills.
