The mission of the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Art History is to provide art history majors with a solid foundation in the history of art, from ancient through modern times.
The degree prepares students for graduate study leading to careers in museums, galleries, fine art libraries, visual resources, teaching, and research. Specific goals, objectives, and competencies related to this degree include the acquisition and demonstration of critical thinking, research, and writing skills; knowledge of terminology, methodology, and competency with various approaches to art historical inquiry; and the ability to conduct art history research through independent investigations.
Art History majors are not required to submit a portfolio, but all Art majors are obligated to fulfill the university requirement for Liberal Studies coursework.
