BA in Art History in Newark United States | University of Delaware

Art History provides learners with analytical perspectives on how artistic and cultural expressions have evolved throughout history and around the globe. We enhance visual literacy, cultivate writing proficiency, and ignite creativity through engagement with artworks, artifacts, and structures that have inspired devotion, fueled revolutions, brought joy, or provoked controversy. Nearby institutions like the UD Library, Museums and Press frequently serve as hands-on learning spaces where students hone their skills as analysts and exhibition organizers. Our curriculum covers artistic traditions from America (encompassing Native American, African American, and Latin American), Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Islamic world, including material culture and architectural studies. Students can pursue interdisciplinary programs combining Art History with fields like Art Conservation, Anthropology, English, History, and various Languages, Literatures & Cultures. By exploring diverse creative traditions, we prepare students to engage thoughtfully with global cultures.
