BA ART HISTORY
PEACE STUDIES
W H AT
Regardless of time and geography, art and
architecture have been used to explore, express,
and shape private selves and public lives. In an
increasingly disposable world and even after
centuries, some works of art have maintained their
SEE
fascination. They continue to speak to us, although
what they say may change. Understanding how
visual and material choices create meaning, and how
those meanings express and affect the world, is the
pursuit of art history.

New students are matched with Juniors
and Seniors to introduce them to the art
history program and help them become
an integral part of the community.

lectures designed to explore visual culture
with a wide range of art professionals
across disciplines, offering opportunities
to learn, be inspired, and network.
