Art Art Programs Home Page Students in art history courses learn the principles and methods of art history. They learn to analyze works of art and place them within their cultural and historical contexts. The history of women in art as well as contemporary issues receive particular attention.
Majors also take studio art classes.
Their studies culminate in a thesis, a mentored research and writing project. Art history graduates are qualified to work in various positions in museums, galleries, auction houses, historic properties, or other institutions, or to enter graduate programs in art history.
