BA in Art History/French Studies 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 studying 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 art critics and museum professionals. Our curriculum covers diverse artistic traditions including American (encompassing Native American, African American, and Latin American), European, African, Asian, and Islamic art, material culture, and architecture. Students can pursue interdisciplinary programs combining Art History with fields like Art Conservation, Anthropology, English, History, and various Languages, Literatures & Cultures.
