Programs and Courses
The Department of Art History offers lecture and seminar courses to undergraduates that cover the history of art in different time periods and from different critical perspectives. Required coursework for majors and minors allows for a broad exposure to the field, but also gives students some flexibility to allow for a more focused study of a particular time period or region. Graduates of the department pursue careers not only in the traditional areas of research and teaching but also in fields as diverse as library and museum work, government service, publishing, and business.
The Department of Art History offers programs at both the
master’s and doctoral levels. Doctoral graduates generally pursue teaching and curatorship. The Master's Degree, with or without the Certificate in Museum Studies, provides training in curatorship. The M.A. is also relevant to a career in library science, secondary education, publishing, business, law or government service.
Courses
We offer a broad range of courses and study options covering American, European, African, Asian, Islamic, Classical, Contemporary and Modern art history. Every major is assigned a faculty advisor who helps the student to choose courses, fulfill requirements, and devise a coherent program of study.
