The Art History Concentration provides a strong foundation in the field of art history, with courses in contemporary art, American art history, European art, African art, alongside foundational courses that introduce students to European and “non-western” traditions. The concentration includes an internship requirement, and students have interned at professional art galleries, museums and non-profits. The Capstone class, Advanced Research in Art History, allows the student to do a semester-long research project on a work of art in an area museum and to present their research to a group of peers. The Art History Concentration prepares students to go on to graduate school in art history, or to careers in museums, galleries, cultural institutions and the private sector.
