Art History
The goal of the Art History Department is to equip students with a critical understanding of the historical and theoretical concerns that have shaped the production, circulation, and reception of art, visual culture, and architecture over time and around the world.
The Senior Program
Senior art history majors prepare an extensive research project in connection with a seminar that is taken in the spring semester. The program culminates in an oral presentation before an audience of art history majors, faculty members and interested members of the College community.
Recent projects in art history include:
