Bachelor of Arts, Major in Art history
Program Overview
Art history is the study of visual artifacts that express the values of cultures and societies. As an art history major at UMass Dartmouth, you'll learn to recognize, analyze, and interpret works of art from around the globe and across the centuries.
As you explore art, architecture, and the culture of history, you will develop your analytical, communication, critical thinking, research, and visual skills—skills that are applicable in a wide range of career paths.
Your studies in art history will prepare you for professional options in areas such as appraisal, arts administration, conservation, corporate arts management, education, preservation, publishing, research, and writing—and for positions in archives, galleries, libraries, and museums. You will also be ready for graduate study in art history and related fields.
Students with a degree in Art History will be able to:
- Demonstrate the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary to engage with an increasingly visual culture
- Apply the concepts, terminology and theoretical perspectives of art history, visual studies and film and media studies to a diverse set of visual artifacts
- Articulate the relationship between visual artifacts and their stylistic and cultural contexts
- Design and implement exhibitions using contemporary curatorial theories and methods
- Apply knowledge in the broader community through meaningful partnerships
- Formulate and pursue research questions using scholarly methods and sources
- Form cogent, well-researched arguments in written and verbal form
