BA in Art History

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

California State University Sacramento

Program Overview

The Art History BA provides a full range of courses in Western and non-Western art, criticism, and visual culture from pre-history to the present and from many perspectives. Lecture/discussion classes, seminars, independent studies, fieldwork, and studio courses produce college-level visual literacy, global perspectives, art historical skills, and understanding of curatorial and art-making practices. Students focus on one of four areas of interest: Early Modern European Art, Asian Art, Art of the Americas, or Modern and Contemporary Art. The art history degree affords a broad education as well as practical preparation for a range of vocations and advanced professional studies. Students who wish to pursue advanced degrees in Art History after finishing the Bachelor of Arts will benefit from the close supervision of a mentor-professor who helps prepare them for graduate studies.
