At the beginning level of instruction, the program features period courses (ART 104 series), such as Renaissance Art and 20th Century Art Art. These courses introduce works of art within their historical contexts.
Upper division courses focus on narrower periods, movements, artists, or problems, such as Rococo & Revolution and public art.
The undergraduate seminar provides a capstone experience preparing students for advanced study leading to teaching and curatorial careers. Besides courses in art history, students enroll in at least two studio art courses to familiarize themselves with materials and creative working methods of artists. Study of gallery and museum methods gives students both theoretical and practical experience in the important areas of art display and management. This can lead to careers in the gallery and museum world. Students also complete a year of language study to learn how language affects thinking and visual experience in other cultures.
