• The Art History program offers a wide variety of courses in western art and also in non-western areas like Chinese, Japanese and Islamic art and architecture. Research assignments in classes often take students to area art institutions like the Detroit Institute of Arts, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, and the Toledo Museum of Art. 
  • Majors are encouraged to be interns in these museums as well as area galleries, historic houses, and historical museums. The two tracks offer a broad humanistic education and prepare the student for work in academic, museum or commercial fields.
  • Each art is considered a creative process that like language has developed as an expression of human ideas, emotions and life conditions. The history of these arts is presented as a visual record of the evolution of human societies that can give the student a valuable introduction to the various world civilizations.
