Art History

The Art History concentration provides students with the foundation to pursue a graduate degree in arts administration, art education, museum studies or art history, or to establish a career in an art gallery, a museum, or an auction house.

In the introductory courses students develop a solid understanding of the most significant artists, monuments, and art historical periods. The investigation of the art emphasizes a work’s formal properties and explores its historical context. In their coursework students develop their ability to analyze, discuss, and describe works of arts. Along with providing a more in-depth look at the artistic production of a particular period or theme, upper-level classes focus on improving students’ writing techniques and research skills and introduce them to a variety of methodological approaches.
