Welcome. The department of Art and Art History offers numerous opportunities in art studio, art history, art education, digital media and design. The program consists of a major and minor in Art History, and state certification in art education.
Our lively and intensive program emphasizes the historical and cultural context of art, encouraging constant dialogue between students and faculty. Central to the curriculum is a direct engagement with works of art, whether in the studio, in the campus gallery, or in prominent museums of art and design.
In the AAH program you will discover a wide array of courses. Depending on your interests you can, if you wish, pursue a particular suite of courses in Art History Studies, Art Studio Studies, Pre-Architecture Studies, or Digital Media Studies. You will also find courses in museum studies and art therapy.
The department has studio space for two- and three-dimensional media, darkroom facilities, and state-of-the-art technology enhanced classrooms. Campus activities include lectures, exhibitions, and workshops. In addition, films, visiting artists, and roundtable discussions on art and art history contribute to a lively art student community.
