BA Art History

The Art History minor is designed for the student passionate about art and its contexts including the philosophical, social, political, religious, and cultural. The minor is useful for students interested in work in museums, galleries, auction houses, art publishing and can supplement any major including History, English, Philosophy, Communications, Biology, Anthropology, or Earth Science. Classes range from pre-historic, MEdieval and Renaissance art to the contemporary. Students experience the full range of art through the ages. At a time when our global culture is increasingly MEdiated through the visual, a historical and critical study of images remains essential.
