MINOR IN STUDIO ART
痴颈濒濒补苍辞惫补鈥檚&苍产蝉辫; serves both mind and heart. The minor takes an integrative, interdisciplinary approach in the reciprocal interactions between scholarship and art, theory and practice.
This minor allows students to continuously develop as artists, embodying a multi-disciplinary approach that includes research and creativity, all of which are integrated through experience and ingenuity.

ART HISTORY
The Art History Program provides students with the tools to understand, interpret and evaluate art from the perspectives of different societies across time. We encourage students to approach art as a dynamic force that has shaped, and continues to shape, the complex interaction of social, political and economic processes both in the past and in the present day.
Major in Art History
The Art History major is an interdisciplinary program that exposes students to works of art and other visual productions, both past and present, and helps to prepare students for future challenges.
Minor in Art History
The Art History minor is a dynamic program inviting students to engage with artistic expression from various historical periods and geographical contexts, enriching their understanding of the visual arts.
