Art History (minor only)

Introduction & Overview

Art History is an interdisciplinary field of study dealing with the cultural, religious, political, literary, technological and economic circumstances within which works of art are produced. Art Historians study art and architecture in their historical contexts as both aesthetic statements and documents of culture. The Art History program offers minors the opportunity to broaden their horizons through in-depth study of world cultures, to develop sophisticated writing and research skills through writing-intensive seminars, to become confident and articulate public speakers, and to work closely with experts in their respective fields.

Our proximity to New York City art world offers world-class opportunities for internships at museums, historical institutions, galleries, libraries, auction houses and corporations in New York City, Westchester County and Connecticut.
