Art History minor

Department of Fine and Performing Arts

Because we are located in a city of endless artistic resources, Weissman offers special opportunities for the study of art history. We emphasize the value of investigating art in various historical contexts and enable students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of visual culture throughout history.

A liberal arts minor in art, with a focus on art history requires students to complete two art history courses at or above the 3000 level, and one capstone course (FPA 4900).
