This program encourages critical thinking and analytical skills through examination of various artistic movements and their societal impacts. It covers significant artworks and artists, offering insights into the evolution of art from ancient times to contemporary practices.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as art historians, museum curators, gallery managers, art educators, or cultural resource managers. Additional paths include working in art conservation, critical writing, or arts administration.

As an art history major, you explore the aesthetic qualities of art through the framework of a piece’s historical, social, political, economic and religious contexts. We offer a wide range of courses in European, American and non-Western art and architecture and you learn, in part, by closely observing and handling objects. We manage several on-campus collections, including 1,600 prints and drawings in the Wetmore Collection, 200 Chinese paintings in the Chu-Griffis Asian Art Collection and a sizeable number of modern and contemporary sculptures. You might also work as an intern or collaborate on exhibitions, events and educational programs at the nearby Lyman Allyn Art Museum, the Florence Griswold Museum or one of dozens of major museums in New York.
