Art History

The art history program provides students with an understanding of art and architecture in their social, political, and cultural context.

Students will be introduced to the means by which art can be critically observed, intelligently analyzed, and knowledgeably discussed. Inherently interdisciplinary, the study of art history involves the study of not just art and history, but also religion, philosophy, literature, music, anthropology, among others. Rooted in research, exploration of art history deepens academic skills that are fundamental to the liberal arts.
