The Art History program is designed to provide students with a
broadly based academic and theoretical knowledge of the history
of art. A substantial number of art history classes covering
such diverse areas as African, African-American, Ancient through
Medieval, Renaissance through Baroque, and Modern, are taught.
These areas are supported by art theory and criticism courses
which are structured to develop special professional
sensibilities for thinking, progressive
artists/historians/critics who seek a fuller understanding of
their careers in the visual arts.
The program is intended to enrich the department's various
studio disciplines, although students may elect to major or
minor in Art History and earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. They
may also choose to supplement departmental offerings with
appropriate courses in anthropology or the humanities. The
program's large slide inventory and the ample collection of the
Cunningham Memorial Library offer teaching materials and
research capabilities for scholars.
