The art history specialization is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the art works, artists, and movements that have shaped visual culture from prehistory to the present, and the leading theories and methods of the discipline. The program prepares students for careers in art museums, commercial galleries, professional art writing, and art consulting, and for advanced graduate training for careers in secondary and college teaching and art conservation and restoration.

Students not electing to complete a minor or a second major are required to complete 6 credits of cognate courses, chosen from the offerings listed below. For students seriously considering graduate study in art history or pursuing a professional position, a minor in either French or History is strongly recommended. Graduate schools typically require demonstrated proficiency in reading French and German.
