What will I learn?

Art history is the study of many forms of visual expression, both traditional artforms such as painting or sculpture and contemporary, emerging media. Such artworks can carry passionate expressions of identity, politics or gender. Interpreting and discussing visual arts can contribute to contemporary issues including social justice, reconciliation, environmental issues or globalization.

Visual literacy is essential in today’s multimedia, globalized, digitally-connected world. Students in the Art History (BA) program learn to think and write critically about visual messages, engaging with theoretical approaches.

The general program offers general exposure to the humanities and social sciences and an opportunity to concentrate studies in at least two subject areas. This program is particularly suited to students who wish to seek employment or enter a professional academic program following graduation from Arts.
