The primary goal of the concentration in art history is to introduce a wide variety of liberal arts students to the achievements of both western and eastern art and to develop their sensitivity to the visual environment. The study of art history incorporates intellectual, social, economic and political history, thus offering a vivid and tangible entr?e to the history and achievements of human culture. In addition, we believe that art history is an excellent liberal arts major that provides a solid intellectual foundation for students with a variety of interests. We hope to prepare our majors for graduate study or careers in the visual arts, areas pursued by more than half of our graduates, as well as to meet the needs of majors who choose to pursue careers in other fields.?
