Art history minor is more than just the history of art; it’s an examination of civilization, both ancient and modern. As an Art History minor, you’ll be introduced to the history of Western Civilization through an examination of images, artifacts, buildings, and works of art. You’ll be encouraged to consider works of art and architecture as dynamic objects that reflect the cultural and social history of the time in which they were made. The available elective courses are diverse, dealing with areas of study such as the Italian Renaissance, the history of photography, contemporary art, classical architecture, and more.
