Art History, B.A.

Program Overview

In our contemporary global society, where images dominate, students of art history develop critical tools to understand visual culture. As a discipline, art history encourages appreciation of works of art and instills a vivid awareness of the social and historical context in which these works were produced. The B.A. in Art History builds sharp analytical skills and broad cultural literacy, preparing students for a wide range of careers.

The B.A. in Art History provides the flexibility to add a minor or double major. Our art history majors have gone on to become museum curators, digital media archivists, university professors, gallery directors, and art advisors. Complete the form below to learn more!
