Art History Major and Minor
Program Overview
The art history major program at Seaver College prepares students for the global, connected, and dynamically changing world of the 21st century. Art history majors learn to place art in its comprehensive historical context, to assess art and the field of art history critically and analytically, to master research, writing, and presentation skills, and to foster community engagement in art through outreach and education.
Art History Degree
In preparation for leadership roles in art history and related areas, our program challenges students to examine works of art from multiple perspectives, encouraging students to develop an appreciation for diverse cultures and the vital role that art plays in human expression across time and space.
Art History Minor
A minor in art history is an excellent complement to many majors, especially for those interested in art-related careers in business, law, conservation, cultural heritage, arts education, non-profit, and more.
