The Department of Art History trains our students to think critically and engage aesthetically with a world saturated by images. They are prepared for a future in the arts through an expansive range of courses taught by tenure-track research faculty, spanning from Ancient Mesopotamia and Medieval Maps to Impressionist Painting and Afro-Futurism. Two tracks in the undergraduate major, Museum Studies and History of Architecture, provide specialized pre-career training and exclusive internship opportunities. Our graduate students, both M.A. and Ph.D., receive personalized mentorship, rigorous training in cutting-edge theory and substantial financial support from ӣƵ. Our students and alumni have been widely successful in securing prestigious fellowships, teaching awards, internships, as well as job placements in museums, galleries, commercial art ventures and more after graduation.
