The BA in Art (formal option in Art History) offers students training in the global history of art, from the ancient period to the present, through a range of interpretive methods. Bolstered by internship opportunities and study abroad experiences, the curriculum requires a breadth of study across Ancient and Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque, Modern and Contemporary, and Non-Western art. The degree prepares students for careers in museums, galleries, auction houses and other cultural institutions, as well as education, business, and law, and provides a foundation for graduate studies in the field.
