Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Art History:


The study of art history provides students with a broad-based, interdisciplinary comprehension of the relationship of the visual arts to concurrent philosophical, social, economic, and political developments. With an emphasis on visual analysis, research, critical writing, and oral communication, the discipline of art history is appropriate for students planning on continuing with graduate studies in studio art and art history as well as those pursuing professions related to art, including positions in museums and galleries or careers in law, business, or journalism.
