Bachelor of Arts in Art - Art History
The art history area of the Art major also includes the art core. Studio and gallery experience enhance the student’s understanding of historical works of art. For obvious reasons, the art history student is urged to participate in the Rome program. Advanced art history courses typically begin in the junior year and culminate with the senior thesis, a major research paper on some aspect of nineteenth, twentieth, or twenty-first century art.
