In recent years, most graduates in art history have been double majors who have combined their study of art with work in another discipline, such as literature, history, or a foreign language, thus enriching their academic background and broadening their graduate school and employment options. In addition, students are encouraged to take advantage of the course offerings at nearby Converse College, a collaborative partner with Wofford in the art history major program and a resource for a wide range of studio courses. Classroom instruction at Wofford is enriched by video and computer resources and by the college's collection of some 50,000 art slides. Significant learning experiences occur outside the classroom as well. A speakers series brings notable scholars to Wofford each year to speak on art historical topics, most recently to participate in a series of presentations on the life and art of Van Gogh.
Field trips take students to area museums, galleries, and architectural sites.
In recent years, January Interim projects have taken students to New York City, Greece, Rome, Germany and Italy.
