Bachelor of Arts in Art History

Program Overview

Art History at Seattle U explores how art and visual culture shape the ways we see history. How does an art object reveal ideas about a culture differently than a text or document? Students learn to visually analyze and write about art using Seattle’s museums and galleries and to integrate these encounters with their critical study of scholarship from a variety of perspectives.

As an Art History student you will investigate the history of art and visual culture to understand the original meaning of works of art and make connections to current concerns. Across a range of periods and societies, you will explore the materials, techniques and presentation strategies that artists and makers employ in their work. Your courses will include visits to local museums and public art sites, gallery talks by curators, and guest lectures by artists and scholars. Students may also take elective courses in Visual Art, Photography or Design.
